Hi.

This might sound pathetic, but how do I tell whether I'm gutsy or not,

Is there some information window I can load up that i'm missing?

might tell you in the system monitor information.
think it's system->admin->system monitor.

mute

Open a terminal and run "lsb_release -a", that should give you the version number and name.

ShavenBaby, thanks for that-- I had always done

But your way is faster and provides cleaner output. Cheers!

Click System -> About Ubuntu

That should tell you.

There are several ways to see what version you have installed.

If you would like additional information about your system, you can install a small utility called sysinfo.

Install it with the following:

Once that is installed, issue sysinfo into a terminal window and it will launch the application for you.
