I'm using Black Lab. How do you find the version number that your running.

Since Black Lab is based on Ubuntu I would think you could use their way of getting the information.
Try googling Checking your Ubuntu version

I tried that and it doesn't tell what Black Lab Version I'm running.

Perhaps the following command will provide you with the information that you are looking for:

Code:

lsb_release -a

Code:
