Holy mozilla, Batman!

Well, I'm on the Internet with 'bagger', my Linux eSlate.

The default installation of Netscape looked pretty pathetic, so I tried to run Mozilla, but it hadn't been installed. So, I tracked it down and installed the rpm, and...

Here I am.

Not only does Mozilla actually work better than Netscape, but it automagically recognized the Cyrillic link to my Russian LJ friends and displayed it correctly. (Netscape makes do with a bunch of '?' place-holders.)

This is usable... yes it is.

I finally stopped on page 63 of the edit job, but the good news is that most of the remaining changes are pretty simply... mostly new and revised numbers.

Off to bed, methinks, for another early start tomorrow.

Cheers...

Wow, I'm actually surprised a build that old is usable. You're right in that the build id is a date, so that build is from around August... which was when Mozilla just began to start getting usable, as I remember.

I would suggest that you do go and get a recent build. A whole heck of a lot of progress has been made since then.

The latest builds are available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/, including a subdirectory appearantly of RedHat RPMs. Since these are nightlies, they are far from guaranteed to work.

The latest actual release is 0.9.2 and it's available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.2/

Good luck.
