I am trying to modify the partitioning of a 240GB USB connected SSD.
It was originally created on a laptop running Debian 9.1 which is in
the shop for cooling problems.
I attempted to repartition it on a laptop running Debian 8.6 and
received an error message that the installed revision of e2fsck
could not analyze the first partition.
I then tried to perform the repartitioning on a machine I believe to
be running Debian 9.1.
*FIRST QUESTION*
How do I determine just what Debian release is running?
To a first approximation:
tomas@trotzki:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
9.6
Since it's possible to install packages from other releases (cf.
FrankenDebian) or from alien repositories, this is just a first
approximation.
