Find OEL Version

I always had hard time to find the Oracle Enterprise Linux Version. Below are some options to view system information and OS Version on Linux System

  1. # uname -a
    Shows the System Information (64 bit or 32 bit)
    Linux WCDEV 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jan 18 20:11:49 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  2. # more /etc/redhat-release
    This shows the Version of OS as below
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga)
  3. # dmidecode | more
    This shows the hardware information
  4. # cat /proc/meminfo
    This shows the memory information. Another command to check the memory is
    # free
