this is on my own child session on my server, running centos 5, using  
the original kernel which centos 5.2 installed:

Linux phineas.jms1.net 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 09:33:52  
EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

it's a bit out of date because i'm very leery about doing kernel  
updates on a xen machine, parent *or* child session. i want to  
physically go down to the server and do the upgrades in person rather  
than doing it via ssh and risk the machine becoming non-booting, and i  
haven't really had the time to run down there and do it.

this on the linux server at my house, also running centos 5, but with  
the kernel updated to the most recent version:

Linux hydra.internal 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:19:18 EDT  
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

i know centos copies what redhat enterprise is doing. it looks like  
RHEL5/centos5 is using a 2.6.18 kernel, and any bug fixes and security  
fixes are being done as patches rather than as new versions of the  
kernel.
