Which version of Netscape Communicator (4.5) runs best under Linux RH52.
I have a standard Pentium 120 machine with 64M memory and plenty of
drive space. Thanks in advance.

Which version? Correct me if I'm wrong.... aren't there only one 4.5
available for glib2.X?

v4.5 of Navigator and/or Communicator are available - however they are not
reccommended.

v4.08 is the most stable so far.

All the best.

Michael.

I have being using 4.5 Communicator now for about 4-5 months... and I have
the odd crash
it runs almost continuously ( only that I require to shut down X or change
hardware for testing now and then )
with  both WEB & mail windows open
..Yes it's is NOT supported.... but considering the lack of trouble I've
had with it...I consider
it worth the effort ....

Slackware 3.4/2.0.36  with XFree86  3.2.1

There is two version of the libc5 and one of the glib2

For those of us who don't want to share our credit cards with the world there is
only one choice, which is the 128 bits version and there is no glib2 version.
And yes it works with RedHat 5.2, I use the 4.08 version. I find it less buggy
than 4.5, it is quite a bit faster too. I'll wait for a less buggy release
before I switch again.

Since the 128-bit version cannot be legally exported/downloaded to
Australia, that's a moot point.  Fortunately, you can patch the export
versions of Netscape using Fortify (www.fortify.net) to get 128-bit
encryption, including the glib2 version.  Works great!

I haven't noticed an significant bugs in 4.5 that weren't present in the
previous version, and certainly no more than any Windows version.  :)
