[olpc-help] Updating and Software Builds

[Anonymous]

Regarding this line in the post below:

Updates will be installed automatically when the OLPC team have tested them thoroughly.

I'm not clear exactly what that means... Does it mean that one day I will sign onto the internet with my G1G1 and be upgraded to the latest Build without having to do anything at all?

Thanks,
Daniel
