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.

Thanx! I've HAVE wondered how to do this in various version of Linux.
