Russell, I haven't paid enough attention to seciry with respect to Netscape; could you make any kind of comment about the security (as for as you know it) of Netscape when run with Fortify, the FreeBSD netscape? Actually, I wanted to buy Word Perfect for Linux, which I thought would probably run under FreeBSD, but the vendor won't sell it except thru Netscape (giving your credit card ID that way) and I've been too skeptical to do that. Does Fortify give any better guarantee of security? Not legal guarantee (I'm sure no lawyer), I mean, is it really safe?
