Version 3?

I have RH 4.2 and have never had serious problems running NS 4.x and
currently
enjoy the full features of NS 4.03.  I ftp'ed the tar.gz from NS's ftp
site some time
ago.

There's supposed to be a better 4.03 available soon, if not now that
supports full 
Java 1.1 AWT and events.  I just haven't the time to check.

I know, some have problems running NS 4.x on Linux, for a variety of
lib, kernel, XFree
issues.   But, my RH 4.2 system has the magic receipe, that anyone can
snoop
www.redhat.com's 4.2 distribution tree to find the combo of ingrediants
that work.

Good luck (to us who suffer at the edge).
