Hi,

Perhaps someone might find this useful.

Usually, when we want to extract the os release info or kernel details we use 
the following commands respectively:
$ cat /etc/os-release

$ uname -a

Though sometimes when you have not configured the server yourself or you do not 
have access where you could find more information
about let's say what exact version of the operating system is setup, then 
perhaps you might want to issue the following:

$ cat /proc/version

I had to use this for a debian based machine recently, where I knew that the 
machine was a Debian 12 but didn't know which version
of Debian 12, was it Debian 12.1.x or Debian 12.2.x

Warm regards
Ragini.
