How to Find out what Version of Raspbian is Running on a Raspberry Pi
This video will show you how to find out what version of Raspbian is running on your Raspberry Pi (or really what version of Linux you have on any Debian based operating system)
I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: https://amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: https://amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: https://amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.
There are two commands to run in the terminal. The most common that people are probably interested in is:
cat /etc/os-release
This will tell you what Raspbian version you are running, Raspbian 8 Jessie in my case.
If you want a bit more information, such as what linux kernel you are running, you can also try:
uname -a
This will give you your Linux kernel version, as well as some CPU information
