Re: kernel version



Thanks Glenn. I guess you are talking about Debian next release Sarge for 3.1?

If I understand correctly that woody (As I installed 3.0 r2) uses 2.2 kernel, if it is correct I'll be really surprised, the 2.2 kernel was the version ages ago, wasn't?

Kind regards,

YH

Thanks all for the help. How can I type the "uname -r" and get "2.2.20-idepci"? I really didn't know what that means as I am only aware of most distributions use the kernel 2.4.x or 2.6.x? Any explain please?


'uname -a' is a little less cryptic (it throws in a few human-readable
words). But if that's what uname prints on your system, you seem to be
running a 2.2 kernel.

I don't know how much you know or what you're trying to accomplish, but
the net install CD for Sarge does a pretty painless job of installing a
2.4 or 2.6 (you pick it) kernel system on your machine.
