Hi,
How do I check which version of CENTOS am I running? CentOS 4.2 or 4.4?
thanks regards,
Guillermo.

cat /etc/redhat-release
It will say:
CentOS release VERSION (Final)
Cheers,
thanks,
I was running 4.3 and thinking it was 4.2 :)
thanks again, Guillermo.

/usr/bin/lsb_release -a
should work everywhere, even when people have bastardised their /etc/redhat-release

It's fine here, though this system's still running 4.3.

Found it in the wetware! See my reply to Tru!

Thanks for the reply though. I don't always get one on such a post.
Thx again, -- Bill

William, you forgot the " -a" option from Karanbir's email.

it's you: $ /usr/bin/lsb_release -a (from Karanbir's mail) LSB Version: :core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:graphics-3.0-ia32:graphics-3.0-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 4.4 (Final) Release: 4.4 Codename: Final
FSG(1) FSG FSG(1)
NAME FSG - manual page for FSG lsb_release v2.0
... With no OPTION specified defaults to -v. OPTIONS -v, --version

He-he! Nope! You forgot to slow down and read! See the next line.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And since it's early and I have no shame anyway, I found the problem ... in the "wetware" :P I forgot to slow down and *think*, a much larger sin!
man /usr/bin/lsb_release is *NOT* the same as man lsb_release
I would blame it on lack of sleep, but that would be a lie.
it's you:
You got that part right regardless of which problem you addressed! =:)
$ /usr/bin/lsb_release -a (from Karanbir's mail)

Thanks for jumping in though. Nothing worse than when I'm trying to find if I am the cause and no one responds at all. Has happened several times.

Most people mistakenly assume 'man' is an abbreviation for manual.. but really it's an acronym for 'm'uch 'a'bout 'n'othing. However, since most developers think it stands for manual, at least some of them contain really useful information.
