according to the wiki... it says this... I don't see this option...
What nightly build/beta/version of XBMC am I running?
XBMC main menu > System > Lower submenu > System info. Note the build date.

That should do it - are you using the default skin?
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

yeah, there is no settings submenu. I can click system>system and that sends me to system settings but... can't find a build version anywhere.

I'm beginning to think this isn't eden though. I installed this last week on kubuntu and it looked different. the main menu scrolled left to right and videos menu looked like a movie theater. This main menu scrolls up and down and shows a tv on the wall.
I haven't made any changes yet. this is a fresh install.

Correct. Eden has a horizontal menu.

Yeah, I thought this one was kind of lame compared to the other one I was using last week. I just needed a less bloated OS for my old computer. I just uninstalled it and updated the repository. Is there any easy way to update it with rc2 when it comes out?

Sounds like they're starting to build the RC2 builds now then. Safest thing is to hold off until tomorrow and you'll get the latest release with a few bug fixes etc.
EDIT: ah, sorry yes Ubuntu. Not ideal.

which flavor would you suggest then? I like ubuntu because it's the lazy man's linux. I'm intimately familiar with RHEL, CentOS, Debian, and Gentoo as well. If there's a better os, I'm totally open to installing it. As long as it's lightweight and not bloated. I could even do a server kernel or command line install and throw xfce on top of it....
