I installed Opera 8.5 on Suse 9.3 by just clicking on the downloaded rpm
in Konqueror and installed with Yast.
The things I like on Opera versus Firefox:
1. Zoom works with both text and graphics
2. Popup blocker works better in Opera (Every time I open Firefox, I get
a popup.
3. It is faster
4. Does not open new window when downloading files, only new tab.
