I've created a wiki page with instructions on checking your version

Could you add a link to that when you update the h.u.c. front page
please, Matt?

This is an easy fix if we just add an I don't know which version I'm
running link which redirects to instructions on how to find out. Matt,
when during the release cycle do you normally update the h.u.c front
page? We can make the change then, i guess.

Coincidentally, I was discussing this privately with someone else a few
weeks ago, and suggested pretty much what Vikram has implemented here.
:-) The main difference is that I suggested showing the link to the help
for your Ubuntu version larger and in bold, with other versions
downplayed but
@Matthew Paul Thomas: Alright, I can modify what I wrote and achieve

Vikram,
Thanks for your work on this. It's a clever solution, but would require
us to do some extra work to redirect the user to the relevant version. I
also don't have the technical knowledge to determine whether this is
full proof enough for a wide variety of browsers used and probably the
code
Alright so here's a modified version of the script, I am attaching a
diff and the modified index page. It works perfectly on firefox

Alright so here's a simple script that does this job, we basically have
two options:
1. Have it written on a side of the page, what version they are running
2. A button that says find the Ubuntu version you are running.
I used option 2 and made a button which onClick() identifies the Ubuntu

This is certainly a paper cut. The version of Ubuntu and the kernel
should be available in the GUI. Users should not have to resort to
Google and the command line to find out what version they're running.
System About Ubuntu command should resemble the System About GNOME
window and display the
With respect, sending users to the command line is not dangerous -
neither of those commands require elevated rights.

Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released
