i haven't. ive never had netscape bring down a unix OS. ive used it on half a dozen different unix platforms. i have had it lock up and i would have to kill it. i don't think ive ever had it adversely affect X itself either. ive been running it everyday(4.x) on linux/unix for quite a while. id be more inclined to blame the kernel. i personally wont touch a 2.4 kernel till sometime late next year(i was planning on testing at the end of this year but with all the recent VM talk its made me decide to push back another year). its no secret that netscape is a memory hog ..all of my serious machines have at least 512mb ram. some have 768 or 1GB. nate
