I 2nd this, sugar 8.2.0 in build 767, the current stable build is
really quite awesome.
-Sugar get some nice functionally improvements.
-Wireless graphical control is much improved.
-XO graphical control panel allows easy activity updates, easy
toggling of advanced power-saving modes and many more features!

Not sure what build you have?
Open a terminal and type
'su -'
'cat /boot/olpc_build'
If a build number less than 767 is reported you should really update
to take advantage the new features!

If you want to update your XO,
(NOTE THIS METHOD WILL WIPE ALL FILES SAVED ON YOUR XO)
The easiest way, by far,  is to follow
