The linux/i386 beta 4 runs quite well on NetBSD/i386 (its in
pkgsrc).
Mozilla 0.6 runs (albeit slowly) on my ss5 - I've just put a
binary package up on ftp.netbsd.org for those who prefer to
spend their disk space and cpu cycles some other way.
If you have some sunos libraries the netscape-4.61 in pkgsrc works
fine NetBSD/sparc - a little dated, but fine :)
