Netscape 6 is really a pig. When I tried to open Netscape while I have
other apps running (couldn't remember what) and it took super long time
to load to a 64mb system and seeing my hard disk working full time and I
found that the swap file was as big as my 64mb ram so I bought 256mb and
would have solved the problem BUT it's still sloowwww even email is
slow. How long does it take to delete a single email? Guessing about 5
to 7 seconds. Netscape 4.x was much quicker than that even IE5 is much
quicker than that. Windows version of Netscape 6 acted as if it's
bloated as well so not only Linux have that problem. I am patient
because it's worthwhile to learn more about Linux and use it and
eventually a good browser will show up (I hope).
