Get a specific Redhat version with regard to Kernel version

I have to install RHEL(Red Hat Enterprise Linux) with kernel version 2.6.26.8. I dont know what RHEL I have to download to get this kernel version. Any suggestion??

Solution

  • RHEL stands for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

    you can get the version and kernel details by uname command like the below example:

    [hatem@localhost ~]$ uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 15 04:27:16 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    if you want to know what is the distribution is:

    [hatem@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/issue

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
