Description-en: Linux Standard Base version reporting utility

 The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard

 core system that third-party applications written for Linux can

 depend upon.

 .

 The lsb-release command is a simple tool to help identify the Linux

 distribution being used and its compliance with the Linux Standard Base.

 LSB conformance will not be reported unless the required metapackages are

 installed.

 .

 While it is intended for use by LSB packages, this command may also

 be useful for programmatically distinguishing between a pure Debian

 installation and derived distributions.
