Can't distinguish a Beta install from a Final

[ralphy]

Hi jcoles

This approach may help.

If you run this command in a terminal window

Code:

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep 'Filesystem created:'

it will reveal the date the file system was created on a given drive.

From here you can compare the filesystem creation date with the Linux Lite release date and get an idea if it's a beta release.

Note. Make sure the right drive/filesystem is checked. The above example is for /dev/sda1, change this accordingly. A command like

Code:

sudo fdisk -l
or
sudo blkid

will list available partitions/drives.

Just a quick note: it can also be retrieved with the latest Create System Report version:
