HI, I may be wrong but I think it updates to 12.04.3 (=Zorin 6.3). To get more information, open a terminal and enter:

Code:
cat /etc/issue

Hi, What do you get when you enter:

Code:

?

$ lsb-release -a
No command 'lsb-release' found, did you mean:
Command 'lsb_release' from package 'lsb-release' (main)
lsb-release: command not found

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Zorin
Description: Zorin OS 6
Release: 6
Codename: precise
as far as i know every thing is uptodate
but it does not tell me if i am running zorin 6.1 what i loaded or is it 6.4 when i have done all the updates
,i read some where that 6.4 ran the newer kernel

Well an indication would be in your GRUB menu - see what happens if you select the second menu option and what kernels it offers to boot into - this should give you some clue.

next silly question, where is the grub menu found
EDIT 3.2.0-60 is the kernel running just now

OK, GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is the OS options menu you (should!) see at boot time - if yo choose the second menu item it should go to 'safe mode' and list all the kernels installed since first install (unless you have used 'autoremove' or 'bleach bit'! :D

Found this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/02/ubun ... new-kernel so it may guide you as to where you are at - I can't view as it is laced with Google apis - I have Google on permanent block on my router! :twisted:
