Broadway is fine.  It compiled cleanly on Debian when it came out last 
December..  I'm still using Xfree86 v3.2, though.  The only
significant new features in Broadway are related to the plugin,
which won't work with Linux Netscape without a bit of work.  (It uses
Motif, and plugins that use Motif don't work very well on Linux...)
