Netscape 2.0 beta

Well, it's not mentioned on their home page yet, but I went to their ftp
site and I found that Netscape 2.0 beta was up there. For those wishing
to get their hands on Java, they don't support Java on the Mac or 
Linux/NetBSD/BSDI platforms yet. Only Win95/NT, IRIX, and Solaris/SunoS
are supported for Java. I knew it was too good to be true for them to have
ported Java to so many platforms so quickly.

  The good news is that someone finally, after years, has implemented
Progressive JPEG (I've been yelling about it for a while myself), and 
it is simply *light years* better than interlaced GIFs.

The shipped beta1 does not work on hpux8.07 (don't bother the looooong
download if you have that OS version) because of libc version.
(yes i know 8.07 is old when latest hp is 10 but 8.07 is also 
 stable and I didn't yet found the time to loose for major upgrade
 (and there is probably a lot of hpux8 sites around))

ps1: are the md5sums coming ?
ps2: it would be nice that ftp site implements an "SITE md5 <file>"
command, so you'd just get the sums from ftp.netscape.com and fetch
the files from mirror and check...
(the pgp signed md5sums posted on newsgroup, mailing list, ftp and web
is even better)
