Netscape 6.2 is incompatible with Netscape 4.x, that's why one will not
overwrite the other.  6.2 does have a conversion tool to convert the 4.x
preferences though.

You can remove it if you wish.  But in order to use the 6.2 Netscape, you
need to either soft link the executable into a bin path, or write a simple
script that executes the 6.2 binary.

To update a link on the desktop, well, what desktop?  KDE, GNOME, CTWM,
etc?  Assuming it's GNOME/KDE, I would suggest viewing the icon's
properties & adjusting the executaion binary from there.

I really don't think companies favor 1 distro over another.  I think
that's at the discretion of the Sys Admin.  The only stipulation would be
consistency with that distro.  Compatibility is hard enough, without
adding 5 different flavors of linux to a newtork that need to play nice
together.
