[drupal-support] How can I tell what version I'm running?

[Peter Apockotos]

Kobus,

I agree with you 100% on all points.  I never want anyone to know  
what software I am running for just that issue.  Now if someone is a  
good friend.  I will happily recommend Drupal.  Again it was just a  
suggestion for the here and now.  I think this should be shown in the  
admin only.
