The command ``uname -a'' will give you the broader FreeBSD version (e.g. FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386) and the time at which your running kernel was compiled. This should give folks a fair idea of what version of FreeBSD you're using, provided you keep userland in sync with the running kernel (which you seem to be doing with ``make world'' anyway).
