Actually, Debian is much easier to configure than Gnome IMO. I have installed
Netscape and much other software with apt-get or dselect, but I haven't a
clue about adding a launcher to Gnome. You assume to much about the technical
abilities of Debian users.
But Netscape is not part of Debian, and should not have pride of place in the
official Debian distribution. How this is acomplished with a minimum of bent
noses is an issue that I hope others can work out. :-)
