I've switched back to the HP Pavilion dv6000; the loveable lugable laptop. It took me about three months to find the right AC adapter, which meant there were software updates in the pipeline for the dv6k's Linux operating system: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I sat through the updates yesterday. The Update Manager had quite a list. The first download failed, and I dutifully changed the download server, which is accessed In "Update Manager" window > "Settings" button, bottom left corner > "Ubuntu Software" tab > "Software Sources." Here you have a "Download from:" pull down menu.
