How can I find the version of the Fedora I use?
LinuxFedoraLinux Problem Overview
sudo find /etc | xargs grep -i fedora > searchFedora
gives:
/etc/netplug.d/netplug: # At least on Fedora Core 1
...
But see the Fedora version in the /etc/netplug.d/netplug
file. Is it serious?
Linux Solutions
Solution 1 - Linux
cat /etc/issue
Or cat /etc/fedora-release
as suggested by @Bruce ONeel
Solution 2 - Linux
You can also try /etc/redhat-release
or /etc/fedora-release
:
cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 7 (Moonshine)
Solution 3 - Linux
The proposed standard file is /etc/os-release
. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
You can execute something like:
$ source /etc/os-release
$ echo $ID
fedora
$ echo $VERSION_ID
17
$ echo $VERSION
17 (Beefy Miracle)
Solution 4 - Linux
The simplest command which can give you what you need but some other good info too is:
hostnamectl
Solution 5 - Linux
You could try
lsb_release -a
which works on at least Debian and Ubuntu (and since it's LSB, it should surely be on most of the other mainstream distros at least). http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sourceforge/l/ls/lsb/lsb_release-1.0-1.i386.html suggests it's been around quite a while.
Solution 6 - Linux
cat /etc/*release
It's universal for almost any major distribution.
Solution 7 - Linux
[Belmiro@HP-550 ~]$ uname -a

Solution 8 - Linux
These commands worked for Artik 10 :
- cat /etc/fedora-release
- cat /etc/issue
- hostnamectl
and these others didn't :
- lsb_release -a
- uname -a
Solution 9 - Linux
What about uname -a
?
Solution 10 - Linux
On my installation of Fedora 25 (workstation) all of the distribution ID info was found in this file:
/usr/lib/os.release.d/os-release-workstation
This included,
- NAME=Fedora
- VERSION="25 (Workstation Edition)"
- ID=fedora
- VERSION_ID=25
- PRETTY_NAME="Fedora 25 (Workstation Edition)"
- <...>
- VARIANT="Workstation Edition"
- VARIANT_ID=workstation
Solution 11 - Linux
uname -a works with my fc11
Solution 12 - Linux
use commmand , screenfetch output format info.
