If you just use Navigator, and don't rely on Composer for making webpages,
you'll probably be fine. The glibc version has been working fine for me and
hasn't crashed, outside of when I tested inserting a link in Composer. I'm
assuming java will probably randomly cause some instability, as usual, but
nobody does anything -useful- with java so you can just disable it if it causes
any crashes. :)
For anyone who's reading this and wouldn't be needing to d/l Netscape anyway for
the 128kb encryption, I'd recommend just sticking with the Netscape 4.61 rpm in
Mandrake 6.1 (or the M 6.0 update directory). 4.7 adds nothing useful
whatsoever for Linux users unless there's some hidden new feature they're not
advertising (yeah, right).
