[wplug] Netscape and RH7.0

[Smith, Edward]

I just started switching to the Mozilla Nightly builds. I'm using the Jan 8
build for Both Windows and Linux right now and It's a big improvement over
the version of Netscape that came with RH7.
I also understand from others that the nightly Mozillia builds run a little
faster than NS6 on linux too.

Have you tried Netscape 6?  It's out and has some advantages, such as being
able to adjust the viewing size of fonts with <cntrl -> and <cntrl +> or the
menu under "view"  (it's disabled under 4.7x).

I did notice that 6 runs a little slower though.

Installation of 6 is also different, as one downloads an installer that
installs directly off the internet (it is, however, possible to download the
files and locally install if the primary method fails).
