[arch-general] Viewing Actual Kernel Release Version

I noticed today when doing a system upgrade via Pacman, it wanted to
upgrade my kernel and install 'kernel26-2.6.32.7-1' however I wanted
to know how this version differs from my current version kernel. When
I run 'uname -r' command, I just get "2.6.32-ARCH".

Can someone please tell me how I can find my exact kernel version &
lastly - what happens to the old kernel? Does it get removed?
