I have downloaded and run the latest Portable Ubuntu remix which I take to be based on Ubuntu 9.04. When I go to "System/About Ubuntu" the message shows the version as 8.04. How can I find out which version I have. I have posted this message on the Portable Ubuntu Forum but so far I have not received a reply. Doug.

"Portable Ubuntu Remix" is a version that is installed on and runs from a thumb drive plugged into any Windows machine and runs on a Windows desktop, not dual boot or virtual machine. It is portable in as the thumb drive can be taken with you and used where ever you are in any Windows machine. http://portableubuntu.demonccc.cloudius.com.ar/ Your above links lead to websites about the standard Ubuntu o/s. Doug. The above links lead to websites about the standard Ubuntu.
