How to tell which version of Ubuntu you have
Noting this for myself as I always forget but knowing that more of my friends are using Ubuntu these days, it might be handy for others also.
open your terminal
type: cat /etc/lsb-release
see something like this:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"
