Latest is 4.73
The version 6 is not an official one but a beta version, and it still have
several things to be polished.

I was hoping something better in the internationlaiztion support.
The menus have entries for almost all known charset encodings; I have
all the needed fonts, I selected the proper menu entry, still the pages
in Vietnamese or Armenian didn't showed properly.
Seems like the Linux/Unix version is once again ages behind in functionality
compared to the Windows version.
Also I really don't like the new GUI, but that is only a personal taste.

Yes (with the difference that there isn't sources of Netscape available;
it is still non-free).
Or you can just keep your netscape rpm and install Netscape elsewhere
(I did on /tmp/test), then add a line to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig,
and test it.
