Yep thats all correct about Netscape.... However a lot of people want speed over the power and there are a few browsers worth looking at, but nearly all are in some form of beta. I am finding that Mozilla 0.7 is faster already, built upon the same code base as Netscape but with a different philosphy. Galeon on Gnome is meant to be fast too. The fastest I have used so far has to be Konquerer, that thing loads like lightening (faster than IE on Windoze on my computer). by the way, Windoze on my system is living on borrowed time...

I am sorry that it took you so long to load Netscape on Linux. It is not made for the masses, it is made for those that want customizability and power. If you think that windows is so much better you should stick with windows. After being a windows user for years, I am overjoyed at the challenge and power of Linux. I get aggrivated but then again, I get even more aggrivated when I have to reboot my windows machine after only 6 hours of work. That's right, if I have Photoshop, Homesite, two browsers, and my email running for the duration of (1) work-day, I usually have a failure due to lack of RAM (128mb). I have never had that problem with Linux. Doug

Well it took me a while to install Netscape 6 on Suse 6.4 were I could done it in a fraction of the time, like 2 or 3 minutes for windows a good 30 minutes for Linux, getting rid of Netscape 4.76 was the main reason
I would like to talk my friends into going Linux, but if I do I am going to get bogged down with phone calls, how do you do this? how do you do....
Now I learn I have to go on line with my ISP BEFORE I start Netscape #6 otherwise I can not send or receive Email, and it is costing me money to log on to my other "Clear" ISP account while Netscape #6 is loading
Even Netscape #6 is a worry, while it makes Netscape look like rubbish. you have to activate a account with Netscape, and get a password you will never remember, why can't they tie in password with email address?
COME ON NETSCAPE "LINUX" USERS DO NOT NEED THIS RUBBISH
Typed from windows were everything goes faster even with the more crashes, it still worth better than going to Linux.
