Englische Übersetzung: Display Linux Distribution and Kernel Version

If you’re looking for a reliable way to find out which Linux distribution your system is using and which kernel version, simply use:

cat /proc/version

You can also use:

uname -a 

or

uname -r 

However, these don’t always provide useful output, especially on SUSE Linux.
