As Pete said uname tells you what kernel you're running. -r gives you just
the kernel release number and -a gives you everything.
kernel-headers-<version> is the headers.
kernel-source-<version> is the full source.
Linus says the headers in /usr/src/linux shouldn't be changed with every
new version of the kernel, so if you did need to compile a module, you'd
probably want the full kernel source.
