Would you buy/download/use* Netscape Linux?

Here's a rough sketch of what I think the packaging for a boxed set distros
of "Netscape Linux 1.0" might look like, if it existed. (image filesize - 61KB)

But, given the choice, would you buy/download/use* it

A year after NS released the source, there were rumors of a NS Linux distro. Nothing came of it though...
