Re: 128 bit encryption netscape?
Actually I kinda went with 2. With Debian, I installed both the debian
473 and the netscape version of 474 (into /usr/local/netscape per
default) and then just did an update-alternatives to point to this
version. Worked very nice and clean on my desktop and my laptops.
