Netscape *is* a memory hog, especially if it's statically linked against
Motif, but as someone else already pointed out, once it's loaded it runs
fine. You can't expect to run Linux, X, and Netscape in 32 megs, however.

I am running slink on 5x86/100, 32 megs of RAM and I quite like it. I'd like
to have 48 megs just because I run samba and NFS and wannna to have some
services on it. I use netscape (4.6 now) and i had staroffice installed but
i removed it cause i didn't like it...
Now, the only one problem

Netscape 4.51 is everything else but slow. You probably simply have too
little memory. I suggest to install at least 128 megs.

Netscape isn't bad once you get it loaded. Though I do admit it may be
slow on older pentiums with 64 megs of RAM(32 on faster ones). Check
out opera as mentioned if the port is availble(if don't know) it's
noticably faster than Netscape--at least on win32 machines.
However if you like

My original reason for switching to Linux was that my poor old box (HANK
r.i.p) was only a 486SX33 with 8MB of RAM. I ran X and Netscape on it with
no problem. It took time for it to start up Netscape and such apps, but once
started the ran with problem.
Now I have a P166 overclocked to 200Mhz
