Netscape for Unix doesn't have profiles because it would be very
redundant. Just create an account on your system for everyone that you
would want to create a profile for. When they log in, run netscape, and
personalize it, it will retain the settings for each individual.
In a nutshell, unix (ie linux) provides this for you since it is a
multi-user operating system. Windows is not, so netscape has to fake it.
