[BioC] how to check BioConductor version?

[Jianping Jin]

Dear list,

We are running R-2.3.1/BioConductor on a Sun machine. I am wondering how I 
can check which version of BioConductor, 1.8 or 1.7 for example, was 
installed? Do I need to check package(s) of my  interest by 
packageDescription() and see what version of R this package was built with?

Thanks for your help in advance!
