how do i find out what ubuntu version i am running?

As in 64-bit, or release number?

I think the system monitor will tell you both of these. If you have an older version of Ubuntu, it should be under System>Administration (or maybe preferences?)

Otherwise, you can search for system monitor in the dash

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)

Code:

cat /etc/lsb-release
