Simple question: how can I find out from a command prompt what my kernel version is?

Sorry, simply, but I can't work it out.

'uname -r' will give you just the kernel release.

In addition to the already posted answers, if you try
'man -k kernel', you get among others:

uname (2) - get name and information about current kernel

'man 2 uname' is the answer.

uname -a

(actually, "uname -r" is the one, but -a outputs all,
so you'll have the kernel version along with extra
information)
