Determine Fedora Version

Hi,

Apologies if I'm being a bit dim here. I've got various Fedora systems and have just wasted time trying to install packages on the wrong version (I was tired!).

But then I thought, how does a user determine what version of Fedora they're using? If I do System->About Fedora I get  explanatory text but nothing about the version.

I know advanced users can do uname or query package versions but there should be an easy/obvious way. People writing the About text for Fedora 9, please take note. (Or just change the menu item text to "About Fedora 9").

TTFN,

Leon...
