Welcome!

This gets asked at least once a week, have a look at the list archives. Since Rat Hat doesn't seem able to
handle running a archive of their own list, there is a very nice serachable one at
http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/archives.html

Yes the *Tru64* UNIX version of Netscape can be run if:
1. You have the Tru64 libs (see the Alphalinux FAQ at www.alphalinux.org)
2. A license to use those libs
3. A 2.1.x or 2.2.x kernel (Rat Hat 6.0 has a 2.2.x)


HTH,

Ron
