Is openSuse one of those? I don't now what 'markers' to look for.
"uname -a" will tell you.
That's not what I meant. UNAME will tell me that the string embedded in the kernel is. That may say "2.6.39.x" and I may know that the ".39" means its really a 3.x, but I don't know if that means 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or what.
Anton, uh, afaik, uname will tell you which kernel version you're running, period. If uname says "2.6.39.x", that's what you're running, if it says "3.1.9-1.4-default", then that is what you're running. No interpretation required.
If I go to kernel.org I can see release notes that tell me what has been changed in the 3.x series but so long as the kernel says "2.6.39." I've got to look for what?
For whatever happened in 2.6.39? 2.6.39 is the last kernel before 3.0. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/21/455
Some revision in the modules or a driver? That's what I meant by "marker".
So when we get to "2.6.39.99999999999" does that mean its actually really 4.5 code?
You've lost me - if you're running kernel version 2.6.39, that is what uname will show you. If you're something else, uname will show you that. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
