There is not a version of Netscape for Linux on Alpha. There is however a version of Netscape for Tru64 UNIX on Alpha, which can be run (minus java) with the required Tru64 libs and proper kernel binary support. However this is an old version 4.xx of Netscape. I find it much better to use mozilla or even better galeon. Both of those are availalbe in testing/unstable.
