Try

uname -a

You probably have 8.0-RELEASE, this is an officially released version
suitable for servers and desktops alike.

There is also 8-STABLE, this is a version in progress which is actually
very stable and usable and may provide features missing from RELEASE
(which you may need for some reason or other). Since you are a beginner,
I suggest you stay with RELEASE for the time being.
