How do I update my Linux OS system and how do I know what version I have? This is all new to me.

Which linux based operating system are you using?

In a terminal issue the following commands:
cat /etc/lsb-release
uname -a
These will tell you your distribution and your kernel version.

Before you get too far along you need to give us more info.

Is this a small netbook you are working on?

Try cat /etc/*release in a terminal to determine your distribution.

The command uname -a will tell you which version of the kernel you are running.
