Folks,

I am not familiar with Debian. What is the best way to check its exact version and installed Qubes packages?

Best regards
PD

Not sure if it's the best way, but:

$ dpkg -l|grep qubes

user@debian-8:~$ cat /etc/deb*ver*
8.6

is the newest version I guess, and for the Qubes mark I take:

ii qubes-core-agent 3.2.10-1+deb8u1 amd64

great, tx.
Not sure however what these two iis at the beginning of the line mean.

Correct, 8.6 is currently the latest 'stable' release.

First character shows the desired state of package, and second shows
its current state. "ii" means package should be installed and it is
installed.

More details you can find in manual:
$ man dpkg-query
