Well, especially one wonders if AOLs acquisition will affect the
availability of Netscape for Linux. Will Netscape still have the
ability to make new versions? Or will AOL control this -- and
since AOL has been for the most part Windows only in their
product line, what if anything will happen here?

I've 48M here, and that does seem to make it run a lot more
smoothly (I use 4.0.7). I don't use Java very much. And I normally
don't keep it always on -- I'll restart it several times during the
day, thus I might not as quickly notice problems.
