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.
