~$ lsb_release -rcd ; uname -r

you can see Description , Release , Codename , Kernel version .

~$ cat /etc/issue.net

You can see the Description only.

The commands I usually use to find out what is installed are

lsb_release -a; uname -a

this gives the version of Ubuntu and Linux kernel installed.
