How do I determine what version of the Linux kernel my system is running?

The command uname -a will tell you the system defined kernel name, hostname, kernel version, hardware name, processor type, hardware platform and operating system name. Executing a uname -r will tell you just the kernel version. Run a ‘man uname’ for specifics.
