i installed 8.10 when it was beta, and my system was doing updates during the past few days, i want to know if i'm on the latest 8.10 or still on 8.10 beta ?

which file to check?

bashar@bashar-laptop:/etc$ more lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"

does this mean i'm on latest version of ubuntu no longer on beta ?

Thanks

Use the Update Manager or 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and you will be up to date with the current release version.
