linux内核说明,Linux内核版本说明

在下水平相当有限，不当之处，还望大家批评指正^_^

1. 标准内核版本信息

第一列，版本性质：主分支(mainline)，稳定版(stable)，长期维护版(longterm)

第二列，版本号。-rc表示非正式发布版本，[EOL]表示本分支最后一个版本。

第三列，版本发布日期。

2. 标准内核与Linux发行版(如redhat)内核的区分

Distribution kernels

Many Linux distributions provide their own "longterm maintenance" kernels that may or may not be based on those maintained by kernel developers. These kernel releases are not hosted at kernel.org and kernel developers can provide no support for them.

It is easy to tell if you are running a distribution kernel. Unless you downloaded, compiled and installed your own version of kernel from kernel.org, you are running a distribution kernel. To find out the version of your kernel, run uname -r:

# uname -r

3.7.5-201.fc18.x86_64

If you see anything at all after the dash, you are running a distribution kernel. Please use the support channels offered by your distribution vendor to obtain kernel support.
