    Hi,

    I am looking to install 'curl' on my VPS but I need to know the version of linux I am using. My hosting company seem a bit slow to respond. Does anyone know a command I can use to find out?

    I know I am using Linux Kernel 2.6.9 but I dont think this is the version of Linux e.g. Suse etc...

    I am looking to download curl from here: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

    Any help much appreciated

    do you have ssh access?

    if so, run uname -a at the command line, that'll tell you a bit about what's running on there
