Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
In UNE 10.10, and in Ubuntu Natty, there is no graphical way of telling what version of Ubuntu you're using. Knowing the version number is important for tech support. So, there needs to be a straightforward but out-of-the-way method of finding it.
In Windows, "Help" > "About" in an Explorer (or Program Manager) window has always shown an about box with the Windows version.

In Mac OS, the Apple menu has always contained an "About This Computer" or "About This Mac" menu item that opened an about box.

In Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier, "System" > "About Ubuntu" has always opened a help page mentioning the Ubuntu version. This was nasty, but at least it existed.
The solution should not pretend that "About Ubuntu" is an "application" of any sort. <https:/
