Lite Version Information

<< < (2/3) > >>

That same command will also show either x86_64 (for 64-bit version), or i686 (for 32-bit version).

Just peeked at the System Info program and it also lists those under the "Operating System" category.

You're probably right that something got changed during an update -- but I don't know what that might be.

Tried uname -a with the following result:

3.2.0-40-generic-pae

I knew that I had installed Linux Lite 1.0.6, but the question was how to identify later.
There is also no information on 32-bit versus 64-bit.  I had used the 32-bit version.

I am beginning to think the system update that I executed last night replaced the Linux-Lite identification strings with Ubuntu identification.
This will leave the default desktop background as the only indicator of what system is installed.

@ mjwilliamsmj,

Strange.  Just checked both versions with VirtualBox using the "System Information" program and got same results as Wirezfree -- it showed Linux Lite 1.0.8 and 1.0.6 respectively.

So, I ran this command in a terminal to see what kernel was used in each version:

--- Code: ---uname -a
--- End code ---

The version 1.0.8 used a kernel beginning with "3.8.0 ... -generic".  The 1.0.6 version had kernel beginning with "3.2.0 ... -generic".  Run that command and see if yours starts with either "3.8..." or "3.2...".  That should tell you what you have.

And the system response (still identifies as Ubuntu), I did get a bunch of updates last night - maybe they changed the system information!
