The british essentially fucked it all up. They sold land 2x times during the whole process. Also Israel is not a compensation for the shoah as they were trying before to build a country, it was just sped up after the shoah.

You should be able to run a relatively new version of Mac OS X + SSD and your computer should be good.
But to answer the question, i'm usually on Ubuntu Distros, so in this case, Lubuntu and Xubuntu tends to be my Go-To for Older machines and it has yet to disappoint.

Hope this helps

Whatsapp is surely useful. I use it with all of my family who's abroad.

Submission + - Taking back my phone - do I have any options?

An anonymous reader writes: Like most of us, I've owned a few smartphones over time, ranging from a Nokia E71 to a Samsung Android phone and now, an Apple iPhone. It is close to phone upgrade time, and I've been reviewing the features that I use on my phone. When I think honestly about it, the only features I really need are:

1. Phone calls (loads of conference calls, for which I used a wired headset with a microphone)
2. SMS Messaging (unlimited on my plan)
3. Navigation (very important, and is probably the most used app on my phone)
4. Occasional internet browsing

All of this could be done by the Nokia E71, when Nokia Maps was a thing. If I want to move away from Apple, Google and the like — do I have any options now? Are there any trustable (and by trustable, I mean avoiding unknown Chinese manufacturers) phones in the market today that could do all 4, and (ideally) have better battery life than 1 day?
