What do you mean?  Individual packages have their own revision
numbers.  Most of them will respond to "programname -V" or
"programname --version".  You can see which versions of the various
RPMs you have by "rpm -qa".  The basic RedHat distribution can be
found by "cat /etc/issue" (unless you've buggered the startup code).
