I suppose that "/etc/redhat-release" is not as well-known a concept as
he or I had thought.
You're assuming too much.
Given that several people replied with information about the version
available on the Web (though often also mentioning information on
local versions), I think not.
The Cygwin distribution doesn't come from Red Hat so calling
something /etc/redhat-release wouldn't make much sense.
Which is why the original question had "e.g.", "something like", and
"whatever", and I wrote "concept".
Thank you for the information on multiple version numbers with Cygwin,
and how a single identifier would not make much sense.
