    Lightbulb How to get Version

    Hi Folks....

    I'm newbie to Linux operating system and I have SSH access to one suse server.
    now my problem is, on that server many packages are not installed by default and I want to install them through package repositories.By adding them from suse site.
    for this I want to know the version of Operating System Eg: whether there is Suse 10.0 or suse 10.1 or suse 10.2 or suse 10.3 , So that I'll be able to add accurate package repository for remote system through yast.

    Please help me out in this ASAP.
    I'm really running out of time.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Rahul R. Borkar.

    Or
    Execute this
    Code:
    cat /etc/*release
cat /etc/*version
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    On openSUSE all the methods suggested above should work, but on other distros, you may have to do
    Code:
    cat /etc/issue
