I'm pretty new at this. How do I find out what kernel I'm using, and the directory of the kernel source?

Finnally one I can answer!

in the terminal type:

uname -r

to find the version of your kernel.

All the kernel sources are in /usr/src/ and the modules are in /lib/modules/

have fun!

And twice to make sure. ;)

The same question was asked and answered this morning right here in General.

*GASP* you mean there are people that don't read before posting?

I'm afraid so. One in 20,000+ members ain't bad. :D

And I was here when it happened.

At least it was a quick and easy question.
