yeah, it's kinda sad, but at the same time, my memory of Netscape is
always kind of unpleasant. I remember struggling to get it to work
properly and convince others to use it instead of IE. Meanwhile, I
remember it working much better once it was set up.

Look at its legacy though: a significant driving force and "gateway"
app for the open source community.

Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.5 for Linux has just been released.
Works fine, looks good.
Get it here:

http://browser.netscape.com/downloads

After unpacking, just run ./navigator inside the folder.
No interference with the package manager.

As far as I'm concerned, 'Netscape' is a good name. I always wondered
how names like 'Seamonkey', 'Iceape' or 'Firefox' could ever make their
way into a serious, corporate environment.

He is probably referring to Netscape <= 4.x
Nobody uses Netscape >= 6 anyway, which is why it is being dropped.

Mozilla and Firefox (and Phoenix and Firebird) are fine in my opinion.
SeaMonkey, Iceape, Iceweasel, etc. seem like suboptimal names to
me, but they aren't as widespread. Anyway, I just say Mozilla and
Firefox unless I really need to specify (I hope no one from MoCo
reads that).
