Looks like the final was basically the release candidate on Linux.
Lots of debug messages while the thing runs.... some of the messages
suggest it really wasn't ready for release.

Konqueror is buggy and large.... so will the Nautilus and other
mozilla based offerings.... I was sorta flamed for suggesting
some truly thin browser options.... so I hope people end this
charade of wanting the world's most feature filled browser
with a small footprint.  In general, the size of the browser
affects start up... I didn't see that much difference
between Netscape 6 and Netscape 4.7x though.... but I've got
128M at home and 256M at the office.

The Java in Netscape 6 seems to work... whereas the Java
in Netscape 4.73 and later is broken (of course, that's
a cursory observation at the moment).

Just my two cents,
Chris
