How to check Linux distribution and version?

Start your terminal and just simply enter the command below to show your the linux distribution info.
```
 
```
```
 $ cat /etc/*-release                    
```
```
 
```
```
 
```

Here’s my result in one of my Linux boxes.

 $ cat /etc/*-release

DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint                     
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14                       
DISTRIB_CODENAME=nadia                   
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 14 Nadia"

VERSION="12.10, Quantal Quetzal"         
ID=ubuntu
