Been on this list for the last few months. Never noticed anything posted on Opera web browser for Linux.
I have a triple OS system (Win98, deb and slack) I am in the process of an upgrade from slink to potato and Slack 7.1. I have several programs, inclusive of Netscape, which run from /opt dir, so that they are shared between the two Linux distros. I usually unpack static binary tarballs for such programs downloaded directly from their parent sites. My present Netscape was downloaded over a year ago (ver 4.51), and has subserved its purpose (given the glitches of running on 32mb RAM) and some of the other problems posted on this list. Iam looking for something lightweight and less resource hungry, in the process of my upgrade. Yes, mozilla is a contender, but would like to keep my options open. Opera is also currently available (though not Open Source or GPL). Need first hand info on Opera for Linux, from anybody who is currently using it or has tried it out. There are some .debs on the Opera site as well, but I don't have a clue regarding its popularity in the debian world. Never used it myself, so any kind of info like resource utilisation, speed, customisation, java support, plug-in support, glitches etc would be welcome. Thanks. USM Bish
