how can I check the Linux version?
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.21-0.13mdksecure (flepied@bi.mandrakesoft.com) (gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)) #1 SMP Fri Mar 14 14:10:36 EST 2003
This provides kernel info, build dates, and possibly even the distribution and version.
There might also be a /etc/*-release file where the * corresponds to the linux distribution (/etc/SuSE-release, /etc/redhat-release, or /etc/mandrake-release).
$ cat /etc/mandrake-release
Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586

Well you did ask:
So that's how you get your version in Linux. However in FreeBSD as your login screen identifies your system that doesn't seem to exist. On my Mac, I can get a version when I type:
$ uname -a
Darwin Carls-Computer.local 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
On my OpenBSD system I get:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD schelin.org 3.8 GENERIC#138 i386

You are using the FreeBSD. also you can check the machine arch through the following command.
$ uname -m
Prashant,
If you want check in your redhat, CentOs, Fedora machine. use the following command.
root@prashant [~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
root@prashant [~]#
If type uname -a, the o/p is:
FreeBSD abcd.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 28 14:31
:56 GMT 2002 murray@builder.freebsdmall.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i3
86
is there any different with Linux Redhat? or Where can I get more information on this OS?
Could you please let me know which type of information do you want.
Wating for your reply.
Prashant,
as per your last reply
FreeBSD abcd.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 28 14:31

your op is FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE
machine arch is i386
so please let me know.
prashant,
I want to know that is this OS easy to operate, maintain ? and is it common?
because I have to using this OS from now.
thank you
Which? BSD or linux?
Go ahead with Linux ( Fedora Core 5 )
Prashant,
Is there a big difference between ASP for linux and the original ASP? We have to migrate a site that was done in ASP but our hosting company only supports the linux version of ASP. Should we just rewrite the site?
A question like that deserves it's own thread, I think 
If you want to run asp script on linux. Please use php mine type for asp.
That's it.
Example
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ( copy the tag & add the following tag for asp )
AddType application/x-httpd-php .asp
bingo
Prashant,
