Find your linux version information


Recently I had to install virtualbox but feedback coming back at me from the install process was telling me that not all dependencies were being satisfied and therefore the installation was being aborted.

Looking at the download page for virtualbox it provided information on the ubuntu code names such as...

  • Trusty
  • Precise
  • Wheezy
  • etc etc...

Turns out I needed the download for xenial



Feed this into a terminal and see version info

cat /etc/*release
