I haven't played with it, but I watched someone else using.  I was
impressed, as it looks fairly lightweight and swift.  But, yeah, it's a
Cocoa app.  Although, it -used- to run on Openstep, so it would probably
run in GNUstep, if they source were available.

That's pretty-much 4.anything, from my experience of Nutscrape on Solaris.
It seems to run more reliably on a sun4u than on a sun4m, though, although
that doesn't make any sense, as I've never seen a 64-bit Netscape build.
