Command to ouput Ubuntu version?

[elmer_42]

Is there a command that will output the current version of Ubuntu, e.g. "8.04.1" or "Ubuntu 8.04.1"?

[logos34]

lsb_release -a

uname -a

Either one of:

cat /etc/issue
or

lsb_release -a
should give you the version number and code-name.

well if you hit Ctrl + Alt + F1, it tells you (Ctrl + Alt + F7 to go back)

I'd really like to pull that up in CPU hogging situations.

That would be easy on Openbox. Write your own keybind for it. For GNOME, on the otherhand...
