The location the router is at doesn't have permanent interwebs, so it's a question of hooking up with some shonky phone/ADLS router/cables malarky ... I've just been typing "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" and letting it do its thing. I assume that it installs the latest available version for that platform.
I'll check what it actually is next time I am in there. I might as well take the stuff to hook it up to the interwebs and do an update while I am there too.
