Understand Linux kernel versions

“

- [Instructor] Understanding how the Linux kernel is named will help in doing OS software updates. My current kernel version is 3.10.0-514. We can get this by running sudo space yum space list space installed space kernel dash asterisk. The current kernel will be underlinked. This means the major version is three, the major revision is 10, the kernel patch version is zero, and the Red Hat version is 514. It's built for enterprise Linux 7 and is compiled for 64 bit CPUs.
