I'd far and away recommend Galeon.  Mozilla and Konqueror round out the
top of the full-featured browser offerings for GNU/Linux.  All three are
feature-rich, standards compliant, stable, and extremely useable.
Galeon's got polish and an attention to user-friendly detail which
simply inspires awe and gratitude.

Netscape 4.x is a buggy, standards-busting, festering load of crap.  It
was one of the worst things to happen to GNU/Linux -- the browsing
experience is one of the more important aspects of personal computing,
and we lagged the legacy MS Windows / Mac world for years.  I'd give
odds to say we're starting to lead again.

Peace.
