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

So it does...I neglected the -a when I ran it. Thank you.

And it pulls it from a text-based file that is subject to automated and human modification. Parsing release info from centos-release is the most accurate way to determine what the currently running release is.

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.
Cheers,

I believe you need to install the package to get lsb_release. It is not present in my minimal server install.

rpm -q centos-release
The default content in the file /etc/issue comes with Distro name + version number (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu in my case).

Thanks in anticiaption of your kind responses to the questions above.
You're welcome.
re point 3, do you have 'telnetd' installed. You should probably use ssh unless you have a good reason not to.
