Gecko Lays Out the Future hotwired.com And much of the talk (when we could hear one another) revolved around Web developers' high hopes for Gecko, the all-new layout engine being previewed on Netscape's Web site. By "layout engine," we mean the core part of the browser, the part that takes HTML and other code describing a Web page's appearance and converts it into what the user actually sees in the browser window. Gecko's layout engine has nothing to do with the layout engine inside Netscape's current 4.5 browser. It's totally new software. So after years of trying to find work-arounds for bugs in the old engine, Web developers think Gecko could offer them a fresh start. We just hope it ships sometime before we're too old to care. Sneak peek: hotwired.com Because Gecko's layout engine represents a radical change from Netscape's previous layout engine, much of the auxiliary software built around it needs to be rewritten before Netscape can ship a Gecko-powered browser. As a result, the entire Mozilla project is months behind its original schedule, and a product release may not be ready until late this year or even next year. Thanks Norm. I wasn't aware of a graphical installation routine for Linux. I used the Disk Druid if I remember correctly. Best of luck. Thanks to slashdot.org
