open a terminal and type without the quotes "cat /etc/issue" to return
numerical version id
type "cat /etc/lsb-release" to see also the "name" of the distribution.

This is the result:
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \l
+
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"
What is the difference "cat /etc/issuecat" and "less /etc/issue"
The last tool I could find in www.
Is less the end of the file?

I don't see any reason to do more. I don't know why you would really
want to remove the list every week anyway. the update command is
designed to take care of that.

Thank You for the question.
I did install Xubuntu. Fine. One month later "update" and package
manager and softwaremanager were destroyed.
So I could find in the www:
"rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update"
Now update and package and softwaremanager are ok.
I do not know why, but I did it.
I think or I suggest, something is bringing dirt on my Linux.
Then I was adding fix-missing because sometimes the update is not
running well.
I am using Xubuntu xfce and up I could see a red warning.
rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf did clean the warning.

You should remove unnecessary information from your posts. But you
should not delete everything, as that makes it very difficult for
someone to know what you are talking about or responding too. Also,
this is a bottom posting group, meaning you should always put your
replies under the previous email like I have been doing here. Thanks!

Is it ok, I am writing between Your words?

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LINUX_Newbies
Is this the link for reading the emails online?
*
Is it right:It is better to use the terminal then to use the GUI?
Regards Sophie

Thank You.
