If you go to the Netscape home page and click 'download', the choices are Windows or Mac or 'other available platforms' - click on the 'other platforms' option and you get... Windows or Mac again. If you look a bit more closely and find the link to http://home.netscape.com/download/selectplatform_1_1.html, the only *x's you'll find are AIX, Digital, HPUX, Solaris, SunOS, IRIX, Linux. "If the operating system you need is not shown, you may need to select another version or check the Vendor Supported versions." i.e. BSDi, SCO, Reliant, MP-RAS, Open VMS, OS/2 Warp, Caldera OpenLinux - even if it said "or dig around our ftp site to see what you can find" it would be more use than it is at the moment. Unless you already use FreeBSD (or know that Linux compatibility does work well), you wouldn't know it's supported. I don't know if anything is still happening with the proposed common UNIX-on-x86 binary format - we already pretty much have one, Linux binaries, they just need a different name :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
