    Try the uname command, check the manpage for the options of this command.

    Execute this
    Code:
    uname -a
    rpm -q kernel*
    First command will show the kernel version you are using right now and second will list installed versions along with a few other kernel packages.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Try "dpkg -l kernel" and "dpkg -s kernel". If those don't work, then look at the manual for dpkg.
