Since you've found MySQL 5.6 for RHEL 5, go ahead and install it. You're getting support from Oracle (if at all, depending on what you purchased), not from Red Hat I don't know what their policy is. The current major version of RHEL is 6, but version 5 is still supported by Red Hat (the plan is to support it until 2020). This is version 5.9 of this distribution. This is a pretty unhelpful name it really indicates Oracle Enterprise Linux (now called Oracle Linux). The output from lsb_release gives you information about the distribution. You do not have “Red Hat 4.1.2”, you have (or rather, the machine where the kernel was compiled has) version 4.1.2 of GCC, build number 54 from Red Hat. This is the version of the compiler used to compile the kernel. Since it was compiled at Oracle, this is the Oracle Linux derivative of RHEL. The el5 suffix at the end is a clue that this is a kernel from Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.x or a derived indicates where the kernel was compiled. What follows is a distribution-specific built number. It does not directly provide information about the distribution.
The content /proc/version only gives you information about the kernel.
MySQL 5.6 is available only by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 / Oracle Linux 5 (x86, 64-bit), RPM Package version of RedHat. If yes, how old is it? Because, I am not getting MySQL 5.6 installer for this version. While as per the output of lsb_release -a, I am using Linux Server release 5.9. If I run lsb_release -a command, I can see below information: LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64 :graphics-4.0-ia32:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-ia32:prin ting-4.0-noarchĭistributor ID: EnterpriseEnterpriseServerĭescription: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Carthage)Īs per the output of cat /proc/version, I can see that I am using RedHat 4.1.2. As the computer boots, it will indicate the operating system as it starts.When I run cat /proc/version command in terminal, I got below output: Linux version 2.6.18-348.1.1.0.1.el5 (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)) #1 SMP Tue Jan 22 16:39: tail /etc/redhat-releaseįinally, if you are in front of the computer, you can usually determine what operating system is on the computer by rebooting the computer. If the uname command works and you need version information, type uname -a.Īdditional information about the Linux version is found with the following commands, if the uname command is not available. The uname command works with almost all variants of Linux and Unix. It is often better to use the console to determine what variant of Linux or Unix you are using. For example, you could be running Red Hat Linux using GNOME as the GUI. Note to Linux and Unix users: Often users running a Linux or Unix variant have a Linux variant with any number of graphic user interfaces. Also, not all operating systems have all of the following commands. On some systems, the command to view an operating and its version is disabled for security reasons. If you only have text, you're at the command line, and can determine the operating system with any of the following commands. A purple background with any visual indication of "Sun" or "Solaris" is an indication of the Sun Solaris operating system used with X Window System.A gray or black foot print in the corner of the screen you have GNOME running on a Linux or Unix variant.A green or blue "L" in the corner of the screen - Computer is running Lindows or Linspire.A red hat in the corner of the screen - Computer is running Red Hat Linux.

A Microsoft Windows logo or Microsoft Windows flag but no start button often indicates an earlier version of Microsoft Windows, such as Microsoft Windows 3.11.If you do not have any graphics or a GUI (graphical user interface) and only see text, skip to the command line section. > How can I determine what version of RedHat Linux > my system is running > Thanks. Below are some different visual indications to determine what operating system you are using.

If you do not see a Start button, it is likely you are running a different operating system.
