How do I find out what version of Ubuntu is installed on my server?
If you would like to know the version of Ubuntu which is installed on your server / vps then log in to a shell via SSH (or open a terminal windows if running a desktop version) and type the following :-
lsb_release -a
This will print the version on Ubuntu you are using, which may look something like this (with different version numbers and build names maybe)
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty
