How do I learn the version of Linux that a server is running?

There's a RedHat Linux server, and I need to find out the version number of RedHat that runs on it. I can ssh to it, and do not want to use X-Win as it is so slow.

  1. I know Windows has "ver" command that does just that; is there something like that in Linux?
  2. cat /etc/redhat-release

    or

    uname -r will give you the kernel version
