I just installed Netscape 6. It's noticeably faster, and it now allows for more than one POP e-mail account. They also made the default font size larger. (I could hardly read it before at 1024X768.)

Netscape 6 huh? What distro you running? I'm thinking of upgrading, but I just got Linux set up exactly the way I want it. Anybody else have a Netscape 6 comment?

My only complaints about netscape 6 are that I can not get my pop server configured to work and that I can not get into hotmail, but things could be worse
I tried Netscape 6 Beta on my Windows 95 Box... it took a lot longer to load up, but the pages were noticably faster and that problem you always get of not being able to use netscape on certain sites doesn't seem to be as much of an issue anymore.
The things I didn't like about it, was I couldn't do what I wanted to do on it... it wanted to lean me around by the collar everywhere (kinda like IE5). It gets annoying when you are reading (or typing) and a window pops up in your face saying it has loaded.
There were a few small things like the mail client has adverts sprawled all through it and the composer has been totally stuffed... same problem, it takes you twice as long to do things as it did in 4.75.
There were a few Illegal Operations, but then again it is windows and it is a beta, so ya expect that.
Over all... I am waiting for the actual Netscape 6 release if it is not out already?
4.75 does what I want and it is fast about it... all ya need. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
