LAMBDA, try $ uname -r The purpose is to find out which linux version you are using. Or try: $ uname -a The purpose is to get kernel release so that we can make a boot disk.

This meetup website will not work until someon from karachi pays them some amount. Instead, I would suggest that we hold Linux Meet Ups via Linux Pakistan.

Who is up for some Chai Shai in Karachi?
