How to check Ubuntu version using terminal

If somebody asks you about the Ubuntu version of your machine, you might not have a clue about it. Each year Ubuntu Development Team introduces new versions of Ubuntu OS and you might have updated your OS. Also, every time you might not be able to remember the version number. For getting the Ubuntu version easily via terminal follow the steps given below:

--> Take terminal window (from Applications->Accessories->Terminal or press Ctrl+Alt+T).

--> Type the command: lsb_release -a 

You will get this message 

No LSB modules are available. 
Distributor ID: Ubuntu 
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 
Release: 10.04 
Codename: lucid 

Here you can see the Release version of your Ubuntu OS.
