A few different ways to check the linux distribution and release / version

Ever find yourself in need of figuring out the exact linux distro and release number of the system you are on?  As usual in Linux – there are several ways to do this!

This is probably my favorite, because its succinct & cross-platform, but in some cases lsb_release may need to be installed.   Comes built-in to current Debian releases:

% lsb_release -d
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 8.10 <span class="token punctuation">(</span>jessie<span class="token punctuation">)</span>

https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-PDA/LSB-PDA/lsbrelease.html

This is for Debian & Debian-based systems:

% cat /etc/debian_version
8.10

Here are some more methods:

% hostnamectl
   Static hostname: brackin-deb-1
         Icon name: computer-vm
           Chassis: vm
        Machine ID: 48cbccecf9bf47c7a403f21ac21ea1d0
           Boot ID: 44eaf92350f2479aa3474b60c419dc15
    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)
            Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64

% cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"

VERSION_ID="8"
VERSION="8 (jessie)"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/"
