Thanks, Daniel. I hadn't found that one. Two others that seem related and useful are:<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; "><ul><li>lsb_release -rd<br>

Thanks Brian and Daniel for your ideas ... what you described worked in a helpful way.<div><br></div><div>The search continues for the best way to track Ubuntu / Jaunty individual build/release numbers. I'll post it when I find out.</div>

1) I've no idea<br>2) apt-cache policy package_name will show you the version of a package installed. Maybe you want to look at the changelog of the package that holds your drivers?<br>3) yes, approximately. But, sometimes there are errors with dependencies. I think ideally, its yes.<br>

What's the best way to track and view version numbers of the Ubuntu releases installed on your machine? In particular, I'm wondering:<br><br><ul><li>how to display release numbers that will differentiate between daily Jaunty builds?</li>
<li>how to display the version of subsystems / tarballs in the distro? (I'm particularly interested in wireless drivers, e.g. <a href="http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#Archiveofcompat-wireless-2.6tarballs" target="_blank">compat-wireless-2.6 tarball</a>)?</li>
<li>does running update manager on an installed Jaunty build has (aproximately) the same result as installing the new daily Jaunty build available that day?</li></ul><br>Thanks for any suggestions,<br><font color="#888888"> Brian<br>
