What version of the Linux kernel does it use?

[RealG187]

Okay I was using virtual box and it hanged on Live CD and the bootloader didnt install when I used the alterante, I picked Unknown for the OS type as the options were Linux 2.2,2.4, and 2.6. I dont know which version of the Linux kernel (K)Ubuntu uses.

Is there a place where I can find out which version of the Linux Kernel the versions of Ubuntu use.


I am gonna use a virtual machine to put Ubuntu on my laptop. If can get it then I might try Kubuntu and Xubuntu...

Type

uname -a

at the command prompt. You should get an output like

Linux hostname 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

In this case the kernel version is 2.6.22
Virtually all current Linux distros will use a 2.6 kernel. But for a number of things the revision (the .22) is important.

Well if you run Kubuntu 7.10 and have 2.6.22-14 then I should too.

Also, I notice you also use Pentium III. can you get virtual machines and that Dos Emulator found in Adept (I think, it's been a while...) Or the Mac OS X theme cuz they dont work and I think its cuz my PC is outdated...

With patches genetics, relatime (which should be at ubuntu as standard), optimization of the latency of sheduler and custom configuration for a high-performance!

Note the relatime on the partition below ...

What?

Oh yeah, PS I cant get Cedaga on my PIII either, is it cuz my P3 is old or I am doing something wrong?

You should be able to download Cedega from their website. Get the version for Debian systems. I have it on mine and it works great. ~John~

fwiw uname -r gives you the currently used kernel.

Re: What version of the Linux kernel does it use?

So all that other text was just the other things that command outputted?

I will try it now, I decided to use VM Ware for Ubuntu... It works unlike Virtual Box (for me anyways...)
