Actually, uname -r gives just the kernel version, and omits the hostname,
build dates, etc. This is especially useful for referring to e.g. the
module path for the running kernel:
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/

I haven't tried that. I usually run
yum list available > available-packages.list
so that I can look for packages without waiting for yum to check the
repositories, which takes a few seconds.
