What Version of Ubuntu You are Running

Its real easy to find out which version Ubuntu you are running.
Just open up a terminal window, and type the following:

#cat /etc/issue

You will get something like this:

Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l

Which tells me that I am running Ubuntu version 9.10

you can also check the
#vim /etc/lsb-release

In that case, you will see something like this:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=”Ubuntu 9.10″

If you are running an Ubuntu Workstation,
then just click on SYSTEM then ABOUT UBUNTU and
it will tell you which version of Ubuntu you are running.
