First one prints version and release of the RPM package with the
name "redhat-release". See "rpm --query --list redhat-release" to
see what that package contains.

Second one prints Linux kernel version and build information, such
as build hostname, build time and compiler version. Part of that is
also reported by "uname --all".

redhat-release and version

[Zhi Cheng Wang]

hi

"rpm -q redhat-release" and "cat /proc/version" usually give different version 
numbers, what does each mean?
