Hey guys, having gotten bored today, I've been working on an omegle client, giving it that genuine retro look by completely ditching a graphical interface.
So far I've gotten up to doing the checks for different software that will be needed (some features arent in the code yet such as the code asking for permission to install required software.
What do you guys think? anything that I can improve?

#This program is the Omegle chat client designed for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and other variants

Notice="This stranger is using $Ver to omegle from a terminal. [Message generated by Omegebot]"
#Since we're meant to run on Ubuntu 14.04 and up, we need to identify the OS and do a software check. :)
#First we must retrive the Operating System Information
clear
. /etc/lsb-release

#Now that we have this information, we need to compare it with the OS requirements specified by the code
if [ "$OS" = "Ubuntu" ]
then
if [ "$VER" = "14.04" ] && [ "$VER" > "14.04" ]
then
#Since we meet the system requirements, why not broadcast it?
echo "User is running an operating system that meets the system requirements!"
else
#We have the right OS, but we need a newer version, the User should be informed of this.
echo "Sorry, you need a newer version of Ubuntu to run this program."
fi
else
#We dont have the right OS at all, the user needs to know this so he/she can get onto the computer with the right OS.
echo "Sorry, but you need Ubuntu to run this program, press enter to exit the program"
read 496u;clear
fi
echo "$OS Version $VER"; clear
#We need to check to make sure it is okay to install any software that may not be installed already.
