OK - thread starting here - Is Netscape *better* than IE ? IMHO Netscape is lagging behind IE by a long way. It's slow and unreliable. I really onlu use it toi access swat, webmin etc which equire a secure connection & I can't be arsed wading through the Lynx version of these pages. I use kfm for non-secure stuff. MS have got the mechanics of IE right, even if the philosophy is wrong. Since IE is effectively free it competes on a level playing field. Netscape started as closed source - I haven't seen much imprevement since it went open. MS have pushed the direction of html in a direction that the w3c is moving towards, but Netscape cast itself adrift a long time since. In the days when I used Windows a lot I tried Netscape and found it's limitations extremely annoying. Where IE & Outlook Express happily dialled & accessed any no of ISP mail accts for instance, Netscape had to be left looking at one mail server. You may think this to be heresy but were IE properly ported to Linux/Unix I for one would give it a go. In the meantime, when Opera gets itself sorted out & the if price is reasonable I may go there instead.

Will IE for Solaris run under Linux if we install iBCS? (Ignoring the *desire* to do something like that, but is the concept viable?)
What a hard way to run crappy software. But I am curious enough to cry *ME TOO*
still grinning ;-)
