I know you understand what a beta release is, but this was meant for
people that think when they freeze mozilla it's the same as a final
release. It just isn't true. Typically the freeze is used so they can do
bug fixes and then port that code over to netscape- once netscape's out
of beta is where the real final release of the base code will be found.
Mozilla continues so it can be developed further for the next release of
NS- mabe 6.1? Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir, but it seems I'm
always running into misconceptions about mozilla.
BTW it's interesting that AOL's set top box (made by Dell) uses Linux and
a browser based on gecko.
