David, If you want a simple way to see exactly what kernel you're running, type: uname -a If you want to know the familiar name of the OS you are running, type: cat /etc/fedora-release If you REALLY want to get fancy, edit your /etc/bashrc file using vim or equivalent editor. Look for the following three lines about 52 lines into the file: # Turn on checkwinsize shopt -s checkwinsize [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ " Replace the third line with this: [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="\n\\033[1;31m`cat /etc/redhat-release`\n\\033[1;34m`date +%A` - `date +%B` `date +%d`, `date +%Y` \\033[0;32m\t `date +%Z`\n\033[0;36m[\u@\h:\l] \\033[1;33m\w\\033[0;37m\n\\$ " (Make sure you use back ticks rather than single quotes.) This will give you a complex colorful multi-line xterm prompt that will dress up your terminal sessions. If you like running Rawhide simply because it has a cool name, you should probably have heeded your mother's warning not to run with scissors. I've been using Fedora since its initial release, and Red Hat Linux before that. I remember the wreckage in the early days when I (ignorantly) tried installing every (!) package in what was then Rawhide. Talk about your major train wreck. I eventually learned to install development versions of Fedora (starting with the Beta release) only in a VM so any serious oops wouldn't destroy my day-to-day working files in /home. It's up to you, of course. Just a bit of no-cost advise from a long-time user to a new guy. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
