This Is Not Good. Ive been running it for the last few days and have had zero problems. It hasnt crashed once, and everything appears to work, include Java. I was never able to get any of the BSDI version to work with Java, but the one for FreeBSD worked out of the box using the Netscape installer. This version of Netscape seems a LOT faster than any other version of Netscape I have used in FreeBSD.
