I've installed [or at least I thought I did] version 9.10. That's what I recently downloaded from Ubuntu.com. However when I go to check the installed version [System/About Ubuntu] it tells me this..."Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 7.10
- the Gutsy Gibbon - released in October 2007."
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks

Open a terminal, Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type
lsb_release -a
What is the output ?

In the terminal
lsb_release -a
then you will see what distro you just installed

I hate to contradict you, but it sure doesn't look like it...
If you want a triple check, what kernel are you running ?
In terminal type
uname -a

I hate to contradict you, but it sure doesn't look like it... I agree with you totally.

In terminal type
uname -a
Linux ubuntu-shop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU
What baffles me is that I've downloaded it from Ubuntu.com and when putting in the disk on this Ubuntu box it shows as 9.10 :o

That is a "Gutsy" kernel.
There are loads of other ways to determine what version you are running, but it isn't 9.10.
What exactly was the URL you downloaded from ?

I'll try downloading again and reinstalling. This has me befuddled.
thanks for your help as I'm sure I'll be back with another boner to figure out.
