Just in case this helps, first, the HP description of the hardware, and
then, the Ubuntu description (note that the machine is "Ubuntu
certified" that seems to be correct in that
64 bit Ubuntu did boot and an Xwindows GUI window manager was
operational). Again, any assistance would be most appreciated.
