I have to apologize, I didn't realize that there were no longer packages for Netscape/Mozilla. I usually use Firefox or Opera to surf the web so I haven't checked. You can check out the Mozilla Suite at:

There are still mozilla packages available. I have the below installed from development.

rpm -qa |grep mozilla
mozilla-devel-1.7.12-2
mozilla-mail-1.7.12-2
mozilla-nss-1.7.12-2
mozilla-chat-1.7.12-2
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-2
mozilla-1.7.12-2
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-2
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-2

Under /usr/share/applications - there is a file called mozilla.desktop which contains an entry called NoDisplay. You have to change this entry to equal false to see mozilla in the menus.

I prefer mozilla over the thunderbird/firefox seperate applications. They are still out there.

Netscaspe is a different situation. I believe the new Netscape is only available on the wintel operating system.
