In the kconsole, type the following:

uname -r

Open a konsole and type in lsb_release -a

I get:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 6.10
Release: 6.10
Codename: edgy

Thanks guys!

dibl: uname -r prints the kernel version, right? Comes in handy, though. Thank you.
Dennis99: Perfect! I got:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:  Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
Release:    6.06
Codename:    dapper

Just curious:

• How do you find these commands?
• Can I find which version of Kubuntu I am running by using the graphical interface?

Yep. That will print out the current kernel you are using. Nothing to do with the Kubuntu version, except giving you a clue.

1. From experience, from other people, from reading, for searching. Take your pick.
2. K Menu -> Help -> Kubuntu Documentation. Release Notes or About Kubuntu.

Thank you, Jucato and Dennis99!

I am liking Kubuntu so much that I would actually consider buying a book on the subject.

Before you go out to buy a book, please browse over the Kubuntu Desktop Guide that's installed on the system. Who knows, you might not need a book in the end.

Goto http://www.sirdaz.com/lin/ and on the right hand side is Ubuntu Hacks, Tips and Tools.

It's a zip file which you can extract with Ark. The book is a .chm file which means you need to install a program called Kchmviewer, through Adept, which installs in the utilities menu. It's worth it imho it's a very good book.
Hope this helps.
