yup 4.6 under linux is slightly faster, and supposedly more stable, I've used 4.51 every day for a few months and it has only crashed once...
NN4.5 under RH5.2 crashes moderately. NN4.5 under RH6 crashes as soon as Java is invoked - try http://news.bbc.co.uk and watch your Netscape window disappear... A number of other people on #linuxhelp report this too.
been there, done that, got the t-shirt.. solved the problem !!!!..
okies I have seeen this on a few machines here.. when an applet is encountered nutscrape buss errors... but when run via X on a different machine it is ok.. The machine on which this was happening had an ATI graphics card in it, (which we all know is not the best thing to have in a linux box) the problem seems to be the interaction between X, netscape and machxx X server, I swapped out the graphics card, put in a crummby S3, did NOT upgrade netscape, configured X and nutscrape all works nice and dandy...
I use netscpae 4.51 and 4.6 on a matrox milleium and a voodoo3 2000, which both work with no problems.. which graphics card did you experience this on ??
