Basically, 6.0 is based on Ubuntu 12.04 - not too sure on 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 - madvinegar? Wolfman?

Hi,

you can use this teminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) command but it won't yield much!, see my ouput below:

Code:
lsb_release -a


My output:

wolfman@fred:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Zorin
Description: Zorin OS 8
Release: 8
Codename: saucy
wolfman@fred:~$

As you can see, it only shows "saucy", you would then have to look up the Ubuntu release names to find out which version it relates to as Zorin has overwritten the Ubuntu name!.
