Hi all. Just a warning to steer clear of Netscape 2.0 on Linux. It can't resolve FQDNs, its distributed as a staticly linked a.out binary *AGAIN*, and I'm hearing lots of reports sitting here on IRC that it locks up R6 versions of XFree solid on a random basis. Not to mention that there is no java support yet for Linux, and the Java support in the Sun/Windows version of netscape is based on the new (and imcompatible with earlier versions) beta version of Java which sun pimped out to Netscape and won't release the source code too. The part about not resolving FQDNs might be an undocumented feature. The most secure transaction is one that doesn't take place at all. ;) Have fun, Christopher
