Having updated gentoo frequently how can I know what version of gentoo I'm using (2004.4 or 2005.1?)
There is no such thing as a gentoo version. 200x.y is simply the version of the install stages and the profile.
After an emerge -u world, this doesn't mean anything (apart from the profile in use).
Try this: ls -l /etc/make.profile | sed 's/\// /g' | awk '{print $NF}'
Just do: ls -l /etc/make.profile
It will show your current active profile.
