'cat /proc/version' will do it along with the command: uname -r

There is no such thing as "Linux 9", random guess you mean RH 9?

You shouldn't install such an old and EOL distro, just that you
have the CDs flying around is no reason, if you like RH do
yourself a big favor, get your hands on FC6 (Free RH version with
latest stuff - http://fedora.redhat.com/) and install it. This
should ease up things pretty much for you.

uname -r
cat /proc/version

Good luck
