uname -r returns the currently running kernel version. |

The sylink is still used, but maintained by portage when you install |
| 16 |
new kernel sources. The USE flag in question is 'symlink' |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# useflag symlink |
| 19 |
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc:symlink - Force kernel ebuilds to automatically update the /usr/src/linux symlink. |
