[MBZ] Macbook linux?

I have SWMBO's former Macbook 1,1 Core 2 1.8; 2 Gb Ram (max) with recent HD and battery. Looks like now it is tough to sell one for even $100 on the bay of fleas. Perhaps it is time to load some flavor of linux on it? What flavor would you guys recommend? Sort of a Ed B or Looey Don

Nope, not thrust, but weight makes the wake turbulence. Any heavy aircraft, even gliding with minimal thrust makes massive rolls of air. Always touch down on landing beyond the touch down point of a "heavy", and always lift-off before the point the "heavy" lift's off when following one on

I have this sucker. I use it for the Sprinter, which has a 14 qt. sump. It is a way better tool than the Topsider. The pump out feature is nice, I pump out into empty 1 gal milk jugs which go to recycle pickup. There's no spillage mess and funnels to deal with. Greg -Original Message-

Re: [MBZ] beware of A380s

Yes, but the smaller plane was no Piper Cub. It was a twin engine jet. The air traffic controllers need to keep these things separated by more air. There was only a thousand vertical feet between them when the A380 passed overhead. RB On 17/03/2017 2:40 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote:

Re: [MBZ] My 87 wagon runs poorly - what to do?

There is your problem then, that is the "ah-ha moment" you've been looking for. At the lower nozzle crack pressure the fuel delivery will be early, which in effect "advances timing" plus, because it is low, fuel spray droplet size is large, rather than fine, which gives poor combustion under load.
