I was looking at how to tell the version of Redhat Linux installed on a machine from a command line. Mostly I used uname -a to view the server settings.

Here is a sample:

$ uname -a

Linux  myserver.mydomain.com   2.6.18-8.el5 #1  SMP  Fri Jan 26 14:15:21 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386  GNU/Linux

It return the server kernel’s version: 2.6.18-8.el5 #1, but not something my mother could understand.

To get a layman term, we can query file /etc/redhat-release instead.

 

$ cat /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

While Ubuntu One has become an useful tool in syncing your files/folders/music, most of the time, we are left guessing whether the sync is working or not. Wouldn’t it be great if there is an indicator or system tray icon (just like Dropbox) that tells us that the syncing is in progress or completed?

To address this problem, Roman has come up with the UbuntuOne indicator package that show the sync status of Ubuntu One in the system tray.

Note: The package is only meant for Ubuntu Lucid and Maverick.
