The firmware for the 63488 and 83488 can be updated using this Firmware Update Utility.  
Some of the bug fixes are relevant to Linux, but the updater is Windows-based only.

The update utility uses the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or later.  
If you have not installed the .NET Framework 1.1 (or later), you can download it (~24MB) from Microsoft.

The Agilent I/O Libraries rev M, or Suite 14.2 or later are also needed for the updater.
The I/O Libraries are available from the Agilent Developer Network. (ADN)
