Can you help please? When I try to install after downloading or opening with gnome installer reports:

ERROR: Dependancy is not satisfiable: libqt3-mt

any help appreciated.

sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt ?

Anyway, besides getting a new browser, what's the interest of using another closed source product ?

Many thanks - For me Opera is excellent, browser and miler par excellence :) Evolution ok but I never seem to get it working ok to back up. Opera is simplicity itself - un hide directories and cope whole directory to pen drive :)

kind regards and thanks again

There are no decent browser for my OS, I don't like that Firefox is based on GTK and XUL, Konqueror is not the best amongst the browser family but Opera fits my need perfectly. I don't care all that much if it's closed source or not.

There are many benefits to having more than one browser:

1. Most importantly for me, printing! Many webpages that end up either with no content when using the Firefox print CSS, print perfectly from Opera (or sometimes SeaMonkey);

2. Viewing: sometimes Firefox or SeaMonkey do not display a page very well, and Opera gives another option. This tends to happen with multi-column layouts a lot.

3. Sometimes plugins hog a particular resource---Firefox on Ubuntu currently hogs the audio channel when I have a tab with multimedia content open, and then I cannot use SkyPE. Opera seems to do fine though.

Thus, while not advocating the use of proprietary over non-proprietary, I am a great fan of good products at reasonable cost in an environment where they are not monopolistic; and also of diversity.

This is the build before beta2 though. This one (ftp://ftp.devlib.org/opera/linux/950b2/final/en/x86_64/opera_9.50b2-20080422.2-shared-qt_amd64.deb) is beta2.
