How to check linux flavor and version
Raw
gistfile1.txt
For checking kernel version:
uname -a
For checking Linux flavor and version:
cat /proc/version
Once you know that you are running Red Hat for example, you can get to the point with:
cat /etc/redhat-release
Or on Debian:
cat /etc/debian_version
or in general :
cat /etc/*-release
Also you could use the following command
cat /etc/issue
