Red Hat / Git (newbie)

[Juc1]

Hi all,

I think my cpanel Linux is red hat 4.1.2 =

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32.21-grsec (root@havana.footholds.net) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)) #5 SMP Thu Jan 27 13:20:09 GMT 2011

If so is this an old version of Linux?

I want to install git version control system.

I found instructions on a blog post titled "Getting Git for Your CentOS or Red Hat Server" =

for installing Git on Red Hat or CentOS server (assuming you're using RHEL 5.x or CentOS 5.x)....

Would this be no good for red hat 4.1.2?

Thank you

cat /etc/redhat-release

The above will show you what version of RedHat you are running.

Are you running RH or some other OS based off of RH?

Hi re my post #1, I thought my OS was red hat 4.1.2 but my host has now told me it is CentOS 5. I would like to be able to see this for myself in the command line but maybe due to being shared hosting it is not possible.

Thanks

Where did you get the information that your OS is CentOS5?

Another way would be to run the following command:

rpm -q centos-release

Awesome, that one gives me the answer, thank you
