uname -r

[LJHerskowitz]

I am brand new to Linux, so I am thinking this will be an easy questions. uname -r should give me the kernel release. I get

3.10.31-ltsi-rt29-2.0.0f0

as a response. Can anyone break down what that means?

Sure.

• '3.10.31' represents the Linux kernel version.
• 'ltsi' represents the Long Term Support Initiative, a set of patches that bring bug fixes and driver support improvements to stable versions of the Linux kernel.
• 'rt29' refers to the release of the SCHED_RT patch that improves the real-time performance of the Linux kernel.
• '2.0.0f0' is an NI designator -- the '2.0.0' represents the LabVIEW 2014 release of the kernel, and the 'f0' represents the first final (i.e. not alpha or beta) build.

Hope that helps!
