I run Window Maker, and I always have. My dad (who alo uses this machine) uses KDE, due to it's simplicity and "user friendly" interface. Even he has no problems. I was just wondering what other people thought of the Netscape problem. I am unaware of any other great browser for Linux, although I don't doubt thier existance. I also never used Linux on anything less than a K6/233 with 64 megs of ram and an S3 ViRGE/DX video card. I believe you may have struck it with the resource problem. I can't speak (or, in this case type) for anyone else, but I would like some input from other users and thier experience with Netscape on Linux. --Ryan Chouinard (I just noticed all my lines start with "I".
