From the question, he wants to know the version of CentOS, not the LSB
info.
rpm -q centos-release
lsb_release gives the version of CentOS.
$ lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) Release: 5.8 Codename: Final
How odd. On my 64-bit CentOS 6.3, 'lsb_release -a' returns:
'bash: lsb_release: command not found'
Works on Debian 6.0.5 & Ubuntu 12.04.2 & 12.10.
The CentOS distro is a cloud server image if that makes any difference although I wouldn't have thought so.
