It works great for me as long as I:
1. Empty disk cache often --- when it gets full it hangs (probably
some bug trying to decide what to free up
2. Run a caching nameserver --- if dns-helper has trouble talking to
your ISP's nameserver netscape will hang
3. Use it only for web-browsing (gnus and emacs are unbeatable for
mail and news reading anyway)
4. Do not enable java or javascript --- even with all security holes
and bugs fixed (for now?) allowing someone out on the net to run a
program on your computer when most idiots cannot even write legal
html has always struck me as somewhat adventurous :-)

4.5-glibc is really quite nice and stable as long as you can live with
the 4 limitations I mention. (I also refuse all cookies, but that is
not something I associate with making netscape so stable on my
computer, but who knows?)
