For instance, the browser that IBM brands and releases for OS/2 is Mozilla 1.1 (which is on my lap top at the moment). Since I like my (two) different platforms to have similar browsers, I'd be inclined to a -stable and -current distinction. But people get all wrapped up about vocabulary, so that's not critical. The bottom line is that I like 1.1 (I just wish the performance of 1.1 with respect to Java was as fast on FreeBSD as it is on OS/2). YMMV. jmc On Tue, 2002-09-03 at 12:59, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: > I'm in the process of putting Mozilla 1.0 back in the tree as > www/mozilla, and moving Mozilla 1.1 to www/mozilla-devel.
