Thanks, it's yum and uname-a revealed what looks like a 2.6.20 kernel on fedora core 6. (it had .fc6 at the end).<br><br>Sadly it doesn't look like there's an update available in yum, it said no update candidate is available.
<br><br>Also, googling around for PHP 5.2.x RPMs is not turning up good results :(<br><br>Oh dear, this could be trouble lol<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/09/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">James Le Cuirot

Hehe. For some silly reason, there actually isn't any single way of<br>finding out. "uname -a" might tell you if you're running a distro<br>specific kernel. Otherwise look for things like /etc/apt, which
<br>suggests Debian or something Debian-based like Ubuntu, or /etc/yum,<br>which suggests Red Hat or Fedora or something based on those.<br><br>Chewi<br><br><br>On Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:23:23 +0100<br>"chris wyllie" <
