Yeah, but they look alot different and haven't been branded, therefore are
different ;)
When I said get Gecko on the CD, I was figuring that people would like to
see a nice Netscape-branded browser (since that is what people know).
Anyone that knows even about Mozilla ain't is already going to have a copy
of NGLayout ;).
I know this is probably far too simple, but couldn't Gecko be considered a
"stable" (albeit pre-alpha) release where those nightly builds have all
sorts of surprises?
