Where can I get Netscape or other web browsers for Solaris Intel?
Netscape comes with Solaris 8.For Solaris 7 or earlier
or for the "domestic" version with 128-bit (high) encryption,
you can download it from
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/english/4.79/unix/supported/sunos551_x86/
This address changes slightly for each language and version.
Or try
http://www.netscape.com/download/
Netscape is available in pkgadd/webstart formats from Sun
(including 128-bit encryption) from
http://www.Sun.COM/solaris/netscape/
This seems to be better integrated with Solaris (especially Java),
although they are usually a point release or two behind.
There's also a FAQ here.
Mozilla.
For bleeding-edge types, I do NOT recommend Netscape 6, which is buggy and slow.
Use Mozilla, which is much more stable and slightly faster.
Solaris x86 binaries are available at
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/
Internet Explorer is available only for SPARC Solaris and will never
be available for Solaris x86 (see the previous question).
Opera Software will release "soon" (June 2001) a
beta version of the Opera web browser for Solaris x86.
It's faster and uses less memory than Netscape or Mozilla,
When it's released, it will come in two versions,
a (free) version with ads and
a version without ads, but you pay money for it.
