Of course, if you want to run Java apps, then you are better off going
with the Linux version.

From the README file in the Netscape distribution:

----- Begin -----
Java Applet Support:

            Java Applet support is available for SunOS 4.1, Solaris 2.3,
            Solaris 2.4, HPUX, IRIX and Linux and OSF1.
----- End -----

No mention of BSD there. 

Take care,
