[olpc-help] Updating and Software Builds

[Kim Quirk]

If you laptop is up and running, start up a virtual linux terminal by
pressing: Alt-Ctl-Mesh (3rd key from the left in the top row).

Hit return. The message right above the log in has the build info.

In the next release you will be able to get this info from the home sugar UI
by hovering over the XO where you shutdown or reboot.
