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.
