Which netscape version works?
I know netscape has its faults but I really need it for some of the sites I use, like my bank. Otherwise I'd be using lynx, really I would. OK now that that's settled.. I've got navigator 4.74 right now and it seems pretty buggy. A lot of sites just refuse to work with it. What's the best version out there for linux? (I don't need the mail stuff etc., just standalone, though I'm willing to try the bloaty one if it's more stable) -chris
Re: Which netscape version works?
There is a newer version - 4.75, which seems *slightly* less buggy for me. If you don't already have it, add the security line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and then run: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and it will install the newer version, as well as any other security fixes you may need. I don't have the security line handy right now, but it is in other messages posted to the list today. Netscape crashes a lot - particularly from web pages containing java and javascript - but that's probably what you need for your bank's web site. Look at the email archive from earlier this month to see a discussion of other web browsers, but none have all the features (good or bad) of Netscape.
