The newer versions of XFree and excellent and basically superior to Metro,
unless you want to run multiple screens (Matrox only anyway)

Indeed.

Well - I tried it. It's Mosaic on steroids. I found it to be even less
stable than Netscape - so I use that. I wish there was some other
alternative - but alas no. You can get a Netsc. 4.0 beta now which is
nicer, but slower, buggier and bigger (what's new).

Basically unless you *need* the support (faster results from news anyway)
or just feel like giving redhat money for doing such a nice job there's no
point paying more. In the archive set you get sunsite, etc. as well so
really your getting more for your money by not buying the official set.

just my 4c or so..
