It is 2.4.18.

I don't completely understand the question about uname. Use
uname -a
to find out the version of the kernel image currently in use. If it says
something with 2.4.20, then you are using Kernel 2.4.20. Although it
would be strange if you used a Kernel that you manually updated, and
didn't know about.
