which version of redhat is my server running?

[davepass]

This has got to be a stupid question but I can't find an answer anywhere...

I am running a few sites on a shared server running some version of RH to which I have SSH access. I want to install Subversion in my home directory but I don't know which version of Redhat is running?

Is there a command line way to find this out?

[luma]

uname -a


not a dumb question at all since its not really your server so hard to figure it out

another way of doing so
log in and type

cat /proc/version
(if you are curious about other stuff you can use these too)
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo

Hi there,
I also faced the same problem
there is another way,
as far as redhat is file in /etc
you can use the following command to view the same:

cat /etc/redhat-release
