Downloading and using kernel source on Ubuntu
There may come a time when you need the kernel source code, usually to build kernel headers, compile a module etc. To work with the kernel source once you have it, you’ll want some development tools installed on your server.
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install build-essential
sudo aptitude install build-essential
To check the version right on the server. Just run:
root@laptop:~# uname -r
2.6.28-11-generic
2.6.28-11-generic
