Unless you log in at a physical (or VM) console, seeing the version of Ubuntu currently running is actually not as easy at it seems. After some googling, I found the command:
lsb_release -a
This is a bit obscure as LSB stands for Linux Standard Base, a standard for Linux distributions that Ubuntu only follows very loosely. About the only useful output from this command is the version number and "codename" for the currently installed distribution.
