flash (the macromedia kind) on galeon

[Ryan Mesler]

im going to have to disagree... how can netscape not support plugins? this
statement is false. it even has a plugins folder. and i have gotten netscape
on my i386 machines to run with flash just fine. i would get opera but i was
unaware that it had a ppc port. and last time i used opera for linux it was
quite lame.

i'll end up getting ns 6.2 more than likely.

If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0
