This is totally OT ... |

For RH 6.2 users ... just download the current mozilla build from |
| 4 |
http://www.mozilla.org. Switch to the classic theme if your machine is |
| 5 |
resource strapped... |

|

Another non-proprietary browser would be konqueror, which is part of KDE |
| 8 |
and works well, even in older incarnations (although KDE3's version is |
| 9 |
the best so far). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Or if you really like the proprietary NS version ... NS 6.2.2 will run |
| 12 |
on RH 6.2 IIRC...but that's based on an older Mozilla version than |
| 13 |
what's current and the newer mozilla is much better in general.... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Then there is always opera (which may work on RH 6.2 if you use the |
| 16 |
tar.gz/statically linked version)... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
NS 4.X.X should die, die die ... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
But that's only MHO .... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And it has nothing to do with what the gentoo website should or should |
| 23 |
not do... |
