Command to know when Linux was installed

[tech291083]

Hi,

I am on Fedora Core 5 32+ bit. I wonder if there is any command that can tell you when Linux was installed & updated on the computer with time and date. Or any other software/application like MySQL or PHP was installed and updated? Is there any kind of log available that I can access? Thanks........

The install.log file in the root user's home directory will have a list of all packages that were installed on the date on installation.

The creation date of the file will provide the date of the linux installation.

Check the rpm command man pages for ways to determine when packages were installed.
