Netscape 6 ready for prime time?

[Chuck Noyes]

You can just ftp (I use ncftp) the gzipped tar-ball directly from
ftp.netscape.com.  Then just tar -xzvf  it into a directory.  The
netscape-install script is included in the tar-ball.  Then just run the
install script.  On my Dell 7500 laptop running RH 6.2, the install script
took, at most, about 30 seconds to run.

I've used the Linux version a bit, but not as extensively as others on this
list.
