Linux下查看系统版本号相关命令

可以通过以下命令查看版本号：

1. cat /etc/redhat-release
#这是属于redhat系列里专有的一个文件，debian则是/etc/debian_version
2. uname -a
3. cat /etc/issue
#说明：这条指令可以查看Linux属于哪个distribution，maybe Debian、RHEL or others。
4. cat /proc/version（好像这个全一些）
5. lsb_release -a

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release  
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)

[root@localhost ~]# uname -v         #还没弄明白这是什么信息，只知道这是跟kernel版本有关的一个时间，但绝不是我们通常所说的“kernel version”，难道这是一种新的以时间来标识kernel版本的方法？不太像啊，有待确认。

kernel-PAE

If Anaconda (the centos installer) detects a PAE compatible processor it will install kernel and kernel-pae

kernel-PAE (x86-only): Contains a kernel with support for 64GB of memory on x86 systems through Physical Address Extensions (PAE). Only x86 CPUs that support PAE can run this kernel. This kernel is provided because x86 systems can't address more than 4GB of memory without PAE extensions.
