I'm still looking for a simple foolproof way of determining which build 
is running.  (One that works through the Sugar GUI.)

This method is a little tricky, but may continue to work with future builds:



Power down the computer.

Then, hold down the game button that has the check mark on it, just 
above the power button.  While holding that button down, push the power 
button.

XO should now boot up in a verbose mode.  Watch the messages flying by.

Towards the end, right before the GUI starts up, you should see a line 
that starts with "OLPC Build 650" or something like that.
