Title: kernel should assert its version everywhere visible Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: It should be possible to be able to verify at a glance which version of the kernel is running. Imagine an application being disastrously incompatible with a particular kernel. I suggest an *option* to display the kernel version in (1) the status bar and (2) the command prompt, but definitely in both "About This Computer" and "System Setting>Details".
