Well you did ask:

how can I check the Linux version?
So that's how you get your version in Linux. However in FreeBSD as your login screen identifies your system that doesn't seem to exist. On my Mac, I can get a version when I type:

Code:
$ uname -a
Darwin Carls-Computer.local 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh powerpc
On my OpenBSD system I get:

Code:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD schelin.org 3.8 GENERIC#138 i386
