How do I check which version of Zorin I am running?

How do I check which version of Zorin I am running? Beyond that, is there a simple way to get the system to report everything it knows about itself, hardware and software?

Many thanks

Andy

With the following terminal commands:

uname -a
lsb_release -a
sudo lshw


The first command shows the kernel used and the architecture.
The second shows the linux distribution used.
The third shows all of your hardware characteristics.

Excellent! Thank you.

This reveals that despite upgrading twice from Z Lite 6.1 to 9.0, I am still running 6.1! Hummm .... try again ...

Cheers

Hi, I am not sure that you can update from 6 to 9 directly - please be aware that Zorin Lite does not offer a Long-Term release like the fork it is based on (Lubuntu) - The only 'long-term' release of Lubuntu fork is 'LXLE' (http://lxle.net). I would advise that you back up all your data in your /home folder (remembering to press 'Ctrl+ H' to show hidden files (application settings), and do a fresh installation.

Run this command.

Code:

cat /etc/*release

It should look something like

Code:

DISTRIB_ID=Zorin
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Zorin OS 9"
NAME="Zorin OS"
VERSION="9"
ID=Zorin OS
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Zorin OS 9"
VERSION_ID="9"
HOME_URL="http://www.zorin-os.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.zorin-os.com/help/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"


And you can see here I'm running Zorin OS 9.
