One of the more interesting paragraphs is: ----> Andreessen outlined a scenario in which Mozilla, as the Communicator code is called, becomes the GUI that runs on top of a Linux operating system. Netscape is taking steps to make this a reality, including making Linux a "total reference" platform just like Win 32 and Macintosh, and will develop all its products to work with the Linux. Third-party developers have already compiled the Communicator code for Linux. <---- If Netscape really is considering expanding the reference list, is there any way that we can get in on it? K.S.
