Our local Sun systems administrator has tried it out on Solaris, and apparently it's pretty horrible. MS didn't do it, from memory, they outsourced it, but I can't thinking of anything that MS has done for *nix that isn't a nightmare (FrontPage Server Extensions spring to mind). FWIW, I've been using one of the M18 nightlies of Mozilla. It's still a little slow to start up, and it will eventually eat all your RAM, but it's very usable. Certainly miles ahead of M17 of Netscape PR2. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
