Netscape and Mosaic are both available for download on the net and
run under linux.  I'm using Netscape 1.1N right now under Red Hat
2.0.  Warning - don't download the netscape 2.0 beta just yet - 
I haven't been able to get it running yet, and I've seen reports
of other folks having problems with it under linux.  1.1 and 1.2 are
stable and run well - just read the README file to install it
correctly to work under linux.

(Also, the netscape ftp sites, ftpN.netscape.com (N=1 to 7) have
been very busy and can be difficult to log into.)
