Which version of the Linux kernel is used by SME Server 5.0?
Mitel Networks SME Server 5.0 is based on the popular Red Hat Linux Version 7.1, which we have modified to exclude unnecessary software packages, and replace others with more secure alternatives. Red Hat Linux Version 7.1 and SME Server 5.0 both use the 2.2.19-7kernel.
You can determine Kernel version information by issuing the command
uname -r
at the command prompt.
