Installed Distribution

Post by sting »

Is there a way to determine which distribution of Angstrom Linux is installed on my BeagleBone Black? The latest available seems to be a 2013/06 date. How does one know if that distribution is on my device?

Angstrom doesn't use most of the standard Unix/Linux utilities, but `uname -a` should work on pretty much anything. I think there should also be a file named /etc/angstrom-version.
