 For those of you who saw my last video, the dancing worked. This is going to be a very short little tutorial. I'm going to show you a command here that gives you a little more information on what distro you're running and what version it is. Currently I know I'm running Linux Mint. I know the version I'm running is a few versions behind, but off the top of my head I can't remember what version it is. Obviously, you can go into the GUI interface and find it out, but let's say I wanted to write a script that checked what version it was, or I just want to run it from the command line. There's a program that you can run called lsb underscore release, and it will give you information on your release. But we're also going to use here the dash b option, I believe it was. No, what was a dash a option? Looking at my notes here. I don't know why I thought it was b. So we run that, and it tells you to distribute your ID. I'm running Linux Mint. The description is Linux Mint 11. It tells me the release number here and the code name for that if your distribution has a code name, which we'll just do. So real short tutorial here, obviously, if you want to know more about this command, you can run the man to get the manual on that, so man in the name of the program, and you can find out a little bit more, such as when we did dash a here, it displayed all the information on the distribution. If I just wanted, let's say, the code name, I could run that instead. Oops, what did I just do? There we go. Change that to r. So lsb underscore release dash r, and now we got the release name, and of course you can, or the release number, code name I think was c. So if I wanted the code name, I could always take that and then use cut or something and cut with a delimiter of, if I could type today, that, field two. I've gone over the cut command many, many times. I use it all the time in my scripts. So there we go. We have that. And obviously you can do other things, remove the spaces in there, the spaces right here, if or the tab it looks like, right there. But if you just want your code name, you could do that. So look at the man file. Play with lsb underscore release and find out what release you're running. This is a great thing if for some reason you wanted to write a script that did something different depending on what distribution you're using. You can have it checked that way. And this seems to have been installed on my distribution by default. So go ahead, check yours. If not, check the repositories, but I think this is fairly commonly installed.
