Hi all, Happy New Year!

I know I can get my Debian's version number in /etc/debian_version
file.
But how I map this to its name (Sarge, Potato, Woody)?

Thank you

Happy New Year to You too.

There is a list of releases with numbers at http://www.debian.org/releases/
but the list stops at 3. something. Im using testing and my release # is 4.0 . I hope this helps some.
