Actually, I believe it was specific fo certain processors only.  So
I didn't mean to cause a false alarm... by all reports, Netscape works
fine with Linux, as it always has.

Sure!  Send mail to 

  majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu 

(I should have a macro for this address, too), with the line 

  subscribe linux-kernel <your-email-address>

in the body.  You don't need anything in the message's Subject: line.
If you'd like directions on how to use the Majordomo server, send a
message with the word

  help

in the message on a line by itself.  If you would like a list of all
of the mailing lists (Linux related and otherwise) that this
particular Majordomo serves, send a message with the word

  lists

on a line by itself in the message.
