"Best" is a subjective term. What is the "best" car? What is the "best" sports team? What is the "best" religion?
The "best" for you is the one YOU like and which suits YOUR computer. That distro might not be the best for me.
If there is a problem you don't understand you need to tell us exactly what happens. That way we might be able to help.
Try Antix:
It should run on most computers, ranging from 64MB old PII 266 systems with pre-configured 128MB swap to the latest powerful boxes. 128MB RAM is recommended minimum for antiX. The installer needs minimum 2.2GB hard disk size. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue cd. A special XFCE edition made in collaboration with the MEPIS Community called MX-14 "Symbiosis" is also available.http://antix.mepis.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
Antix has "Cenni" which makes wifi connection easier.
It might be time to get a more modern laptop?
I don't know what distro you are using but, since you have put ppa, I guess you have Ubuntu (?)
Open or create a new sources list with the command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
You can get the contents from: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
Copy and paste. Save and close.
Which model of Samsung Chromebook have you got?
WINE does not and will not work on the ARM Chromebook, as Windows executables are i386/x64, and WINE runs them directly (it is not an emulator). It works fine on x86-based Chromebooks using the version in the repositories.- https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/121
Have you tried, first, doing:
sudo apt-get updatethen
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install wine?
Don't specify the version number. Just do
sudo apt-get install wine
Ubuntu is very stable and has good support
using WINE, you can run any Windows-based softwareNO! SOME Wondows programs will run on Wine BUT NOT ALL.
How steep is the learning curveIt is not impossible. We were all newbies once.
How secure is itIt is generally accepted that Linux is more secure than Windows.
Are there any obvious advantages or disadvantages to using Linux over Windowsand
What can someone accomplish with Linux/Ubuntu that is any better than one could accomplish with WindowsLook at http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ People tend to write malware for Windows and not Linux.
Are there any hardware compatibility issues with Linux/Ubuntu?Yes. And sometimes you have to install drivers for Video and Wifi.
How effective is WINE at running Windows software?As above it will run SOME Windows software but NOT ALL. There are some apps which will go further e.g. PlayOnLinux or the PAID Cedega.
You do not have to have Linux OR Windows. You can have Linux AND Windows. You can Dual Boot - then you can choose which you want to use.

How, when and why to take a reverse mortgage
How, when and why to take a reverse mortgage
Jack Guttentag
Inman News®
Editor's note: This is the fifth in a six-part series. Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.
A major and potentially valuable feature of the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program is that it offers multiple options regarding how a senior can withdraw funds, as well as the flexibility to switch from one option to another as one's circumstances change. This makes the HECM a potentially valuable component of a senior's retirement plan.
However, most seniors are selecting an option to cash out the entire equity in their house at the outset, which eliminates other options (unless they later repay some of the money they withdrew), and may leave them with nothing to fall back on if they need help in later years.
The HECM options that can significantly strengthen a retirement plan are being used by very few. The seniors who could use these options advantageously, unlike many who select the all-cash option, are not driven by immediate financial pressures -- their financial challenges lie ahead of them.
Most seniors are not aware of how HECMs could enhance their retirement, and they don't hear about it in HECM advertisements. The industry is focused on the all-cash option, because it is easier to explain, easier to sell and much more profitable.
This article describes several ways that a HECM can enhance a retirement plan.
Supplement income with a tenure annuity
All reverse mortgage models before the HECM were designed to provide seniors with additional monthly income for as long as they lived in their house, and the HECM offers this option, called a tenure annuity. The monthly payment continues until the borrower dies or moves out permanently.
The 72-year-old senior referred to in an earlier article who could draw cash of about $255,000 on a house worth $400,000 could opt instead for a tenure annuity of $1,460 a month. Or she could take $730 a month, reserving a credit line of $128,000 for future use. The HECM program allows seniors to combine credit lines and annuities in any proportions.
A unique feature of the tenure annuity is that it can be modified at any time based on the home equity remaining at that point, for $20 paid to the servicer. For example, the senior who finds that the monthly tenure payment won't be needed for a while can switch the unused equity to a credit line, which will grow in size from that point on. In the opposite case, the senior who needs a larger payment can switch to a term annuity. For another $20, those who switched can switch again.
Use a HECM credit line to offset pension termination
Millions of married couples are living partially on pensions paid to one of them, which will stop when that person dies. The drop in income of the surviving spouse could have a major impact on that person's standard of living unless it is offset by another source of funds.
A HECM credit line designed to be used by the surviving spouse after the death of the pensioner could provide that offset. The earlier the credit line is established, the larger it will be when the need arises.
Use a term annuity to avoid running out of assets
Seniors who enter retirement with a block of financial assets that they intend to use up during their remaining life face the challenge of deciding how much of these assets they can draw down each year without running out of money while they are still alive. HECM term annuities help deal with this challenge by allowing the senior to delay the process of asset depletion. Term annuities can be three or four times as large as a tenure annuity because the payments don't last as long.
If the payment on a 10-year annuity is adequate to meet the senior's needs, for example, the senior's assets can be allowed to grow for another 10 years before asset depletion begins. This substantially reduces the danger of running out.

Nick Jonas and Delta Goodrem have brought their relationship to an end after 10 months.
Delta, 27, released a statement via her publicist about her split from the 19-year-old Camp Rock star.
"Nick and Delta have decided mutually to end their relationship.
"At this point in time, they are both focused on their careers as they go on different paths. They remain friends and wish each other the best for the future."
The pair met when Nick helped Delta write songs for her fourth album, and got together not long after she broke up with former Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
Delta is now about to film the Australian version of reality show The Voice, on which she is a judge.

When it comes to implements and tractors, bigger equipment has dominated. In fact, the largest tractors have gotten heavier by a rate of about 900 lb. each year for the past 50 years, says Scott Shearer, who chairs the Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department at The Ohio State University.
Weight requirements hover around 110 lb. to 120 lb. of tractor mass needed per horsepower, so higher horsepower tractors are heavier out of necessity, he says. That trend is likely to continue until the upper limits are reached.
"One thing I've been thinking a lot about lately is the compaction penalty that equipment size is playing today," Shearer says. "The genetic potential of the crop may never be realized because of the compaction issue."
However, there is one technology on the horizon that could stall the heavier tractor trend and even reverse it.
"I'm suggesting we may see a day when we go to 40-hp or 50-hp tractors. Perhaps the farm 15 or 20 years from now will be using fleets of smaller, autonomous vehicles," Shearer says.
Thinking small has big possibilities in the future. "For now, big is beautiful," admits Christophe Pelletier, an agriculture and food futurist. "After all, more horsepower pushes bigger, wider equipment—letting you work more acres with fewer operators. But once we remove the man from the machine, we can begin to reimagine the machine."
The small solution. A smaller tractor trend would play out in one of two ways. First would be a manned tractor leading multiple autonomous tractors behind it in a V formation (similar to how Canada geese fly). The second method would involve no live operators at all.
"Theoretically, you could run your farm from the kitchen table," says IBM global agriculture leader Rick Morris. "When tractors can be run robotically, you could run your farm from almost anywhere in the world."
A farmer would "direct traffic" from his or her computer, sending machinery on predesigned routes to plant, deliver inputs and harvest the crop.
"We'll need to challenge people to think differently," Pelletier says. "You might become a machine manager rather than a driver. You won't need to go across the whole field—you'll just go where you need to go. An autonomous fleet could also operate 24 hours, seven days a week. They don't need to sleep. You could do whatever you want at any time you want."
Several OEM and university researchers have built prototypes of autonomous vehicles. One of them is Tim Stombaugh, professor of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering at the University of Kentucky. Stombaugh and his colleagues developed the University of Kentucky Autonomous Tractor—or "UKAT" for short.
This pint-sized 30-hp tractor couldn't keep pace with the workload of today's popular tractors, could it? Of course not, Stombaugh says. But three could. For example, a 235-hp tractor that operates for 10 hours at 65% efficiency pulling a 16-row planter at 5 mph can plant around 156 acres a day. Three of the 30-hp UKAT tractors that operate for 24 hours at 70% efficiency pulling a 2-row planter at 5 mph can cover the same ground.

March 4 (Bloomberg) -- Across-the-board spending cuts to U.S. defense and domestic programs, known as sequestration, took effect on March 1. It will be a few weeks before the full effects are felt by federal agencies, defense contractors and the public. This gives negotiators more time to strike a deal.
Here are questions and answers about the cuts and the status of budget talks in Washington:
Automatic cuts, half affecting defense spending and the remainder spread over other federal agencies, went into effect. The federal government is reducing spending by $1.2 trillion over the next nine years, including $85 billion over the final seven months of this fiscal year.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the automatic budget reductions, if they are not stopped, will cause a 0.6 percentage-point reduction in U.S. economic growth this year. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee on Feb. 26 that "this additional near- term burden on the recovery is significant."
The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg last week calls for a loss of 0.5 percentage points from the gross domestic product and 350,000 U.S. jobs.

In 2012, all the stars came together for Eric Church as he escalated from singing about Bruce Springsteen to drawing Springsteen-size crowds.
After years of near-misses, Church scored his first No. 1 single in January with "Drink in My Hand." His Blood, Sweat & Beers tour kicked off with a good omen -- a sellout in Bloomington, Ill., that caused him to add a second show there. Sweetest of all, he sold out his hometown venue, Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, in May.
By June, demands for Church concerts were so great that he extended his tour to 45 cities, taking it into late December. His album Chief was certified platinum in June, as well, and in November was named the CMA's album of the year.
Church ended his spectacular year with two Grammy nominations.

By Bert Case - bio | email
JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - A 21 year old soldier from Madison, who was wounded in Afghanistan, received a hero's welcome at Jackson Evers International Airport Thursday.
C. J. Stewart was a combat medic with the 101st airborne. He nearly lost his right arm while on a rescue mission.
Stewart, who left being a college student at Mississippi College to join the army, could hardly believe his eyes when he saw the hundreds of people welcoming him home.
Stewart's medical team at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington told him that he would most likely never regain use of his right arm. Stewart has beaten the odds and is slowly regaining some feeling and motion in the arm. He has been through 36 surgeries.
"He is getting back a lot and they are going to start a second round of surgeries" said his mother, Robin Stewart. "And hopefully, I just believe in god, he will get back that movement in his arm, in that common area."
Stewart was low key, but freely talked with reporters about his experience.
"It's good to be back officially home" Steward said. "I have been in D, C. awhile, but that is not quite the same as here.
"It's good, it's there" Steward said about his arm. "I have already been through a lot, but they are doing great things these last couple of months."
Forty-one motorcycles, ridden mostly by veterans of the patriot guard riders, were lined up at the airport to escort the soldier home to Madison. There will be a reception in his honor at Broadmoor Baptist Church.
His family has lived in Madison since 2001, but they are originally from Louisiana, near Shreveport.

Until we learn to be as single-minded as the fanatics - at home and abroad - we're ALL hostages
"The immediate response to the Sahara atrocity must be revulsion, and deep sorrow for the families of those British and other hostages who were murdered in cold blood or killed in the rescue attempt.
Condemnation of the Algerian authorities for the loss of those hostages' lives, in what has been termed a 'bungled' operation against the Islamist terrorists who stormed the Algerian gas complex, is nevertheless inappropriate."
To win this great civilisational battle of our time and protect all our citizens —including Britain's many moderate Muslims — Britain must abandon its current incoherence. That means holding the line against Sharia law in Britain, and tearing up human rights law in order to deal properly with the human wrongs of Islamic terrorists."
Philips is right, no negotiation, no rules of engagement and forget this nonsense of "collateral damage". War is ugly, it's brutal, make it so much so that the enemy either surrenders or he's killed.
Warning - Graphic

As you might have read, Catholic Charities lost a significant funding opportunity for our Family Support Center in downtown Santa Rosa.
Thank you to all who have responded with thoughts and donations. We even had one child who sent in money he/she (the message was sent by "ananomous"!) collected from selling snow cones! We are working very hard to find the funds to make up this shortfall and continue our work on behalf of homeless men, women, and kids. We will find a way through this, thanks to you.
If you can help in any way, please call 707.528.8712 x159 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
John Brundage is just one of our amazing volunteers who help make Catholic Charities the organization it is. His article in our recent Volunteer News shows just how committed he and others like him are. It's a great read.
If you'd like to join John as a volunteer, please contact us at 707.528.8712 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. We especially need receptionists, bilingual volunteers, and help at our thrift store, ReStyle Marketplace.
"I'm certain that there are nearly as many reasons why
people volunteer to help others as there are individuals
who volunteer. For some it is a need to serve others,
driven by faith or personal philosophy. For others it's a
way to give back in thanks for the many blessings they
themselves have received in life. And for those like me,
the reason lies in..." Read More

A Sense Of Things, 16th January - 26th January at Zabludowicz Collection, London
A Sense of Things presents a group of works that display interrelated and converging approaches to this calling. The works of Hannah Perry, Oliver Laric, and Jamie Bracken Lobb react to a world already full of objects by recycling and remixing pre-existing materials to generate new meanings. Conversely, other artists such as Lei Xue, Daniel Silver and David Buckley use traditional materials and means of production to re-examine everyday objects and forms. Some of the artists such as Jim Lambie, Tonico Lemos Auad, Adriano Amaral and Andrea Zucchini also try to develop an intimacy with the materiality of the objects through craftsmanship and renewed attention to their materials.
Exhibiting artists:
As part of the sixth annual Testing Ground for Art and Education season at Zabludowicz Collection, A Sense of Things is a curatorial collaboration between students on the MFA Curating courses at Goldsmiths College, and this year, for the first time, The Cass, London Metropolitan University. A Sense of Things is collectively curated by Amy E. Brown, Rebecca Edwards, Antonio Garcia Acosta, Leana Lovell Gardner, Adrienne Groen, Aaron Juneau, Hanna Laura Kaljo, Miriam La Rosa, Marina Maksimova, Barnie Page, Emma Siemens-Adolphe, Rosie Snaith, Thomas Stokmans.

20 morning wreckers and how to deal
Where are my keys?
One way to avoid this common but frustrating problem is to put your keys in the same spot every day—either back in your purse, on a key hook in the hall or in a special drawer. And for those rare times when an unexpected event disturbs your routine, keep a spare set in your designated location so you can leave on time. The hunt for your regular set can resume when you're not rushing out the door.
-- Sharon O'Brien
School project was not done
To avoid last-minute panics about incomplete assignments, check with your kids when they get home from school, or during dinner at the very latest, to find out if there's something more complicated than homework due the following day. Then right after dinner, sit down with them to determine their plan for getting the project done, and check in during the evening to make sure it's completed before bedtime.
The car won't start
Even with regular maintenance, things can, and will, go wrong with your car. To prepare for the rare occasion when Old Faithful won't start, have several backup plans in place. Keep a current public transportation schedule handy in case you need to take the bus or train to the office. Another option is arranging with a nearby friend, family member, neighbor or coworker to give you a ride, and offer to return the favor. If that fails, keep emergency cab fare on hand.
Two sandwiches, one slice of bread
To avoid the sinking feeling that comes when you run out of lunch supplies, keep emergency items in the fridge or pantry. In a pinch, tasty crackers make a nice substitute for bread, and crackers go well with popular lunchtime foods including cheese, deli meats, and good old peanut butter and jelly.
You're at work but your phone is at home
When you run out the door without your phone, don't panic. Some of the tasks you perform on your phone can be easily handled with a computer, like checking email via webmail and keeping up on the latest news and weather. If you're afraid to miss a call, dial your phone number remotely and record a temporary voicemail message asking people to call your work number. Unfortunately there's no cure for the anxiety you might feel when your trusty phone isn't with you; you'll just have to wait until you get back home.
Where's the blouse that goes with this suit?
The simplest way to solve the problem of an incomplete outfit is to plan ahead. When you come home from work and change into comfortable clothes, take a few minutes to choose your outfit for the next day, from underwear through accessories. If an important item is soiled, wrinkled or missing you'll have plenty of time to make sure it's ready. And you can look forward to a more relaxed morning.
Your child refuses to eat
Isn't it interesting how, for apparently no good reason, kids can suddenly turn their noses up at foods they used to love? And how often does this happen on mornings when there's no time for discussion? With kids who tend to be picky, don't ask them what they want to eat—that's a recipe for disaster. Instead, give them a choice of A or B—scrambled eggs or cereal, for example. This is a win-win for both of you: either item is easy for you to fix, and the child gets to make his own decision about what he wants, which will make that choice much more appealing.
You're out of milk or eggs
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but there's no rule that says breakfast should be limited to traditional breakfast foods like eggs and oatmeal. It's better to feed yourself and your family something nutritious than nothing at all, so on those rare days when the breakfast supplies run low, get creative. Reheat last night's leftovers, make sandwiches or heat a can of soup. If you make breakfast fun and delicious, your family won't know what they're missing.
You're out of soap or shampoo
It's so frustrating to be soaking wet in the shower, with water in your eyes, and to reach for an empty shampoo bottle or a tiny sliver of soap that dissolves in your hand. Of course, your first line of defense is to keep extra supplies on hand, but when you need to get clean and your supplies have run low, get creative. You may have no shampoo or no soap, but it's unlikely you're out of both at the same time, and one will substitute nicely for the other in a pinch.
Oops! That unexpected stain
You're dressed for work and you look pretty good. Then the unthinkable happens: you spill cereal, toothpaste or hand lotion on your shirt. To avoid this hassle, you have a few options. Put on your clothes last, after you eat and brush your teeth. Wear an apron or shirt over your work outfit to protect it. Or plan an alternate outfit when you decide what you're going to wear. For accidents at work and while traveling, experiment with one of the travel stain removers—they often work wonders when you're unable to do laundry.

He saluted the staff of various agencies and also commended residents and councillors for their outstanding desire to help and respond to a difficult set of challenges.
He said: "It is at times like this that we learn most about ourselves and the response of County Durham has been both admirable and extremely effective.
""We cannot stop the rain from falling but we can unite to show how strong the community spirit and partnership is in our county and I have seen much of that spirit in the past 48 hours."

Torrential rain has undermined properties in Whitby which are at risk of subsiding, Scarborough Borough Council has warned.
A female resident of one of the properties was evacuated this morning after gardens started to give way at seven properties on Aelfleda Terrace. Many of the other properties are holiday lets and were unoccupied.
Emergency services are currently on site and engineers from Scarborough Borough Council along with officers from North Yorkshire Building Control are assessing the stability of the properties and surrounding land. A specialist engineer has been brought in to help the council work out how much movement is occurring.
Current level of the River Ouse in York is 4.4m above normal. It is currently forecast to reach a peak of between 4.6m and 4.8m in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
All defences owned by City of York, Environment Agency and Yorkshire Water are in place for these levels. In particular Yorkshire Water confirmed that, apart from a small leakage at one location, which is being dealt with, the Leeman Road sewer system is working correctly.

THE water level of the River Skerne in Darlington is at its highest and should start to fall, an expert has said.
Ian Hodge, area manager for the Environment Agency, who is in Darlington this afternoon, said officials were watching water levels carefully and monitoring potential showers this afternoon.
However, he said he expected to see the water level of the Skerne begin to drop shortly.
Two flood warnings remain on the river and households in the Victoria Embankment and John Street areas of the town have been anxiously watching the river in case it burst its banks.
Shortly after midday, East Coast was able to run a limited service between York and Newcastle and two trains an hour were operating between London and Edinburgh, via York, Darlington and Newcastle.
The company warned passengers to expect extended journey times this afternoon due to speed restrictions in place at locations between York and Durham.
By noon today, the AA had attended more than 5,000 breakdowns, including 118 incidents of cars being driven through, or stuck in, flood water.
Worse-affected areas were north east England and Essex. The AA said that drivers in Wales, where flooding has been severe, appeared to have heeded warnings about travel, as there had been few call-outs for patrol teams.
Cleveland Police update issued at 12.30pm
The A689 in Wynyard is now open in both directions – west heading towards Sedgefield and east to the A19 and Hartlepool.
Wynyard village is passable with care, but there is still a lot of water on the roads, so again drivers are asked to drive carefully.
In Port Clarence, the road beneath the railway bridge is currently impassable, and there are diversions in place.
Thorpe Thewles is passable with care.

XE Market Analysis
North American Edition2014-09-16 10:44 UTC
The dollar recovered from a moderate dip in Asia as markets anticipate that the Fed may take a step to policy normalization at tomorrow's FOMC. Sterling traded lower as the FX market is somewhat jittery with two days to go until Scotland's independence vote. The as-expected dip in U.K. CPI to 1.5% had little impact. Cable has made a six-day low of 1.6162, but remains comfortably above last Monday's 10-month low at 1.6052. USD-JPY settled in the ... Read More ►
European Edition2014-09-16 06:21 UTC
The dollar recovered from a moderate dip in Asia, leaving most of the main pairings near to net-unchanged from yesterday's London closing levels. EUR-USD logged a 1.2960 high before returning to the 1.2940 area. Yesterday's peak at 1.2975 remained unchallenged with the market making time ahead of tomorrow's FOMC announcement. Tokyo markets reopened after yesterday's holiday, but to little fanfare. USD-JPY dipped marginally below yesterday's and Friday's ... Read More ►
Asian Edition2014-09-15 18:32 UTC
FX trade was relatively calm in N.Y. on Monday, though the dollar generally lost ground to the major currencies. EUR-USD found support ahead of 1.2900, though gains stalled out at 1.2950, as USD-JPY slipped toward 107.00 before finding support. The AUD and CAD perked up some as well. It appeared some pre FOMC position squaring was behind the softer USD tone today, though given the risk for a more hawkish sounding Fed statement, losses are liable to be ... Read More ►

The trailhead for this Kokeʻe classic begins on a ridge above Sugi Grove Camp on Camp 10–Mohihi Rd. While this start covers less steep terrain than you'd find by beginning at the Pihea trailhead, you will need a 4WD to get here, as well as an ability to follow a map along an unmarked dirt road.
