Google says nope! (no safari for windows or Linux)

And apple still only offers version 1.2 for download. I'm stumped as to how you got version 2.0.

Though this is futile for me at this point as I'm sure it is not compiled for Windows or Linux anyway.

Sorry... not much I can do short of running out to buy a mac just to test Safari... (which I'm sure I can't do for less than my current total liquid assets of $40 CDN)

Have you tried Mozilla Firefox? Its compiled for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux...

Here's the link for the english version 1.0.6 of Firefox for Mac OS X:

Last I worked on a mac it was an Apple IIgs - I did the "high resolution" graphics for a video game version of the TV gameshow "Press Your Luck" written in Basic, we actually were using text windows in the graphics displays, the whole works, it was cutting edge stuff! (for 1988)

here's all I know, hope it ocvers everything:
Over the next two years, Apple will be switching from the PowerPC chips like the G4 and G5 (same processor as is going to be in the Xbox coming out) to intel processors.  The switch will happen gradually, for the sake of developers.  The mac OS itself is ready to run on intel processors.  Steve Jobs (big wig at Apple) debuted the mac OS for intel macs a couple months ago on a Power Macintosh running with an intel processor, meaning all of OS X is ready to go on intel.  There may be bugs, dunno, since the few intel macs that are out there right now have been given specifically to developers on loan in order to prepare for the future macs that will all run on intel.  Apple does not want them available for the general public at this time.
What this means: emulation software should no longer be necessary on a mac- it should be able to dual boot into windows or Mac.  the complexities of actually making it happen, though, are not known at this time.  Apple does not want its OS to run on windows boxes, I don't know what they plan to do to keep windows boxes from running OS X, maybe a ROM code in the OS.
I DLed safari 2.0 with my OS updates, which is most likely what the problem here- it's not available for stand alone download, and only comes if ou have an OS X update that has safari 2.0 in it. 
The windows version most likely lives on in the developer's boxes, so unless you get a buddy who's a mac software developer, odds are that you won't get it.  I wouldn't be surprised if a copy has leaked out into the sub realms of the internet though.
APple computers ship with Safari and internet Explorer (5.2 i think for the mac).  Firefox is available for the mac, should be comparable to the windows version.  Netscape has historically been on the mac since the very beginning, have no idea what the latest versionfor mac is though, since I don't use it these days.

I'm not on my mac now, but mine came with Safari 1.2.4, Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (from 2001) for OS X, Internet Explorer 5.0 (from 2000) for OS Classic (9.2), and Netscape Communicator 4.77 (from 2001) for OS Classic.  It seems they stopped developing Communicator when Netscape stopped trying to make money and turned into Mozilla.

Also, the current mac version of Firefox is 1.0.2 for OS X.


As a side note, I'm using Firefox on my windows laptop and I'm having a hell of a time navigating D.net.  If I try to keep up with one thread, or even just navigate back to the subcategory list from a thread, I get an error message saying "Document contains no data".  Sometimes if I click the link again it'll go through, but that's happening less and less, and I usually have to go all the way back out to the main list, if not close Firefox altogether.  Could this be related to the Safari problem?

1.25 GHz Mini w/ 512 MB RAM and 40GB HD

btw, oddly enough D.net's working just fine now.  Seemed to straighten right out after I posted about the problems I was having.


quite odd.

Same here, the problems I was having went away sometime yesterdday.  however, when I planed to post and thank who ever for whatever they did, the wireless was down, so I forgot.  In any event, thank you for your diligent efforts.  they are much appreciated, whoever you are.

The mini is a nice machine, and it has that cuteness factors chicks seem to dig as well.  Nice choice, IMHO- compact design, decent computer, good formfactor.  I'm a little jealous.

Dynaverse.net has been restabilised serverside (miscommunication among admins). Essentially a scheduled restart of apache was enabled when it should not have been, the winNT mpm settings already handle this...

The current version of Firefox for Mac OS X is 1.0.6 (not 1.0.2) (see link above)

I reccomend Firefox 1.0.6. (I suspect version 1.0.5 of contributing to the "document contains no data" errors)

Netscape did not turn into mozilla, mozilla has been there all along Netscape and Mozilla are Gecko based browsers. Netscape threatened to stop development at version 7, but then 7.1 came out... it also is bundled with a bunch of crapware... thumbs down on netscape now.

See what happens when you don't have an OS to wrap around it. I predict that at some point in the future Firefox will have 'crapware'. Ultimately it is about paying for the bacon.
