Either you're doing something wrong, or you and I visit an
entirely disjoint set of web sites. The latter is more likely,
I admit. I won't speak for random Netscape-4 under Linux here,
but I'm currently using Netscape-4.76 on FreeBSD and it simply
doesn't crash. It does everything that I want, as fast as the
bits can come over the wire.
This machine (my day-to-day workstation) doesn't get rebooted
for anything except kernel upgrades and lightning storms.
