Practical: 3

Aim: Display OS version, release number, kernel version


Software: Oracle VirtualMachine, Ubuntu

Theory:

Kernel: A kernel is the core part of an operating system. It acts as a bridge between software
applications and the hardware of a computer.

Commands: Linux commands are instructions that users enter into the Linux terminal to perform
tasks on the Linux operating system. They are the foundation of the Linux operating system's power
and flexibility.

Operating System: An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It
manages the computer's memory and processes, as well as all of its software and hardware. It also
allows you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer's
language. Without an operating system, a computer is useless.

Commands:
1 . Uname -s
Show kernel name

2 . uname –r
Uname – a
Lsb_release -a
Show OS version

Eg… 4.15.0-48-generic

What do the numbers mean?

4 is a kernel version

15 is a major revision

0 is a minor revision

48 is a bug fix

Generic is a term used for architecture
