Why do you want to bring it up to date?  An answer to that question will
help isolate which of several alternatives to suggest.  ;-)

What version do you have installed on it at the moment?  The latest
stable build from One Laptop per Child was os802 version 8.2.1.

To test the latest XO-1 development build from One Laptop per Child,
which is only a week or two old, follow this checklist:

0.  identify the hardware, check the label underneath the battery, do
not proceed if it is a B1 from November 2006 or a B2 from 2007, (mass
production models have slip resistant rubber feet),

1.  ensure that the laptop is unsecured, see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_key for details,

2.  update the firmware, see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware for details,

3.  update the software, see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1 for details.
