Just run the following command:

lsb_release -a

This should give a result such as the following:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10
Codename:	intrepid

Additionally, to find out what type of architecture your kernel is currently compiled for, just run:

uname -m

Which will give something like this:

x86_64
