   AOL sucks therefore NetScape sucks.

I.E does not run on Linux.

I agree AOL sucks, but Netscape existed long before
being gobbled up by AOL.  I've been using NS 7.0 for
a few weeks now, no problems, all email imports from
NS Communicator 4.75.

I also use IE (browsing, not mail), it's ok, but not that different or
better.

The vast majority of the computer viruses are written for O.E.

Not email, but somewhat related to your OS passions, I saw a report
recently that reported that 45% of hacked servers in some certain time
period were Microsoft.  36% in this same time period were Linux.  In
both cases most of the cracks were known issues that Admins had not
patched/turned off.  Now 9% is not as big difference as I had imagined
there would be.  Most of the people I know that are running Linux are
pretty sharp.  Elitists seem to flourish in that arena.  You would think
that more of them could keep their boxes patched...

Linux is not immune, and apparently some hackers are turning their
attention to Linux.

Well they are going to have a hard time finding other Linux desktops.
Servers are different as Linux servers are common.
