We are pleased to announce Ksplice Uptrack support for RHEL 6 and Scientific
Linux 6. To install Ksplice Uptrack on these systems, please follow our
standard installation instructions: http://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/install.

We will support CentOS 6 immediately after its release.

*2. uptrack-uname

You can now check the effective kernel version of your Uptrack machines
using the uptrack-uname command line utility, which ships with Uptrack
client versions 1.2.1 and later. uptrack-uname has the same format as
unameand supports the common
uname flags, including -r and -a.

To upgrade the Uptrack client, please run

yum update uptrack

on rpm-based systems and

apt-get update
apt-get install uptrack

on dpkg-based systems.

You can also check your effective kernel on your web interface and via our
API: http://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/api
