NS 4.8 is fine its the 6+ series which are determined to imitate IE.
This foolishness is a waste for us when we have Opera which can handle it
just fine.
Then there is Konqueror and Gamaleon(sp?) and likely more.

I would like to upgrade my Netscape v4.8 to Netscape 7.x on SuSE 8.2. Should I remove the current version, or just install the new one over the other? Also, will this effect Mozilla, and if so, any hints on how to deal with this?
However, a couple of comments. Netscape 7 is not an upgrade to Netscape 4.x. The two programs are utterly different, linked only as a matter of marketing. Netscape 4.x is a dog, and rather unlike anything else, and for this very reason you might want to keep it around if you are thinking of writing any web pages: it's good to check that Netscape 4.x can render them legibly. Not only is Netscape 7 typically behind Mozilla (as pointed out earlier), it's said to be burdened down with attempts by TimeLifeWarnerAOL (etc.) to have you frequent their sites and buy their products. I don't know for sure as I've never tried it; and I've never tried it because I've never heard any argument for its superiority to Mozilla, which I've been very contentedly using since version 0.98 (and with more or less irritation since well before that). ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
