How can I find the version of the Fedora I use?


cat /etc/issue

Or cat /etc/fedora-release as suggested by @Bruce ONeel


You can also try /etc/redhat-release or /etc/fedora-release:

cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 7 (Moonshine)


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 $IDfedora$ echo $VERSION_ID17$ echo $VERSION17 (Beefy Miracle)
