Ever since Mozilla 0.9.4 I've been using it (Mozilla) as my primary browser. 
It is very solid. I've even used the nightly builds on occasion (when I'm 
tracking a bug). Mozilla is far more stable on Linux that any version of IE 
under windows I've come across (including the latest one that comes with 
WinXP). And I really like being able to have as many different versions 
running on the same OS as I like with out them clobbering each other.

However, I wouldn't bother with Netscape except as a test environment - so 
the point about the sucky JVM and the solution is worth noting. Thanks for 
the thread in this respect.

The ones who are the real worry are those you ask "which operating system are 
you running?" and they answer, in a very vague uncertain voice, 
"... Word ..." or "... Office?? ..."
