To find out which version of the software you have, boot your machine and
check the Workspace manager's info panel.

I believe all NeXTs shiped after 2.1 was released have 2.1 on the disk.  It
is not unlikely that the documentation will continue to say "2.0" (for a
while) even though you have 2.1 due to the minor differences between 2.0 and
2.1 (these differences are probably covered in the "2.1 release notes" which
you received).
