As far as I know, the lsb_release tool is installed by default on all Ubuntu
installs. You can use it to get the codename of the release like: 

For Ubuntu 10.04 

$ lsb_release -c
Codename:    lucid

or Ubuntu 12.04 

$ lsb_release -c    
Codename:    precise

You can also get the information from the /etc/lsb-release file directly. 

% cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"

 

Hope that helps,

Jared

I was looking at the options of installing Riak and there are several
options under Ubuntu: Lucid, Natty, and Precise. This is a Linux Ubuntu
Server. I am not sure how to tell which variant it is.

 

Thank you.
