Kernel Questions

[jim biri <jim.biri@gmail.com>]

Hi,
A few newbie kernel questions I'm afraid:

- How do I find which version of the kernel I have installed? It's
Sarge/2.6, but I'd like to know the precise kernel.

- In RAID-on-Sarge instructions at
(http://xtronics.com/reference/SATA-RAID-debian-for-2.6.html) it says:
"Update kernel to kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp"

(a) Is the kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp image a RAID-specific image?
What's the meaning of the "k7" and the "smp"?

(b) Where can I find any documentation as to what those characters
mean so I don't have to bother this mailing list again about this?

(c) What's the quickest way of actually doing such an upgrade - to -
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp? Using aptitude or apt ....

Thanks, Jim.
