linuxmint lmde: How to find out Debian release?


I have a linuxmint lmde installation and I would like to install MariaDB, a data base system like MySQL. To do this MariaDB asks me which release I have. How can I found out which debian release my linuxmint lmde installation has?


Solution

  • I think the current way of doing this is running lsb_release -r. Also you could do a cat /etc/debian_version which is storing the release on a Debian system.
