In the Settings window, scroll to the end of the list in the left panel and click About.

In the About panel that appears on the right, review the OS Name field, and verify that it lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The About panel also displays the version of the GNOME desktop you are using, the Linux kernel version, the available storage and RAM in your computer, and much more.

GNOME Settings is the main control panel for your Linux machine, so spend some time browsing other topics in the left column to get a general feel for what is available on the desktop.
