Request:
You need to determine the release (version) of your SuSE Linux, as well as
the version of your Linux kernel that is in use.
Procedure:
This information is included in the file /etc/SuSE-release
.
The easiest way to view the content of this file is using the
cat
command. For example:
cat /etc/SuSE-release
produces an output as follows:

system, you can use the command uname -a
, which will indicate
the output similar to the one below:
