Post by kdpatil » 2020/10/20 07:22:17

Hi All,

Any suggestions on how i can find CentOS 6 Kernel Number & its release date table ?

Eg my box is running at

2.6.32-754.18.2.el6.x86_64

Yum update shows i can go to 2.6.32-754.33.1.el6

I thing i see is I am already at

CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

Thanks

There isn't one, at least not one that's maintained by CentOS. The important bit is that there are newer ones than you are running and you should update.

Also see the sticky forum post about CentOS 6 dying in about 5 weeks time. You need to be moving to something newer ASAP.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

So when you move to CentOS 7 which you need to be doing already, that will do what you want.
