Hey all..

Im using Opera 9.24 with ubuntu and my question is two fold? Is it worth it to try out the beta? Ive heard good things about it, and if i do decide to use it, can I delete 9.24 and just use 9.5 after I have it configured? And where can you get 9.5 and download the package? :)

That's the link to the download. I think the beta installs over 9.24, though. All your settings and stuff are saved, no problem.

Spoon,

Yeah its a battle ive had for years..For me, if it "works" im happy. Its why i switched from windowze..was tired of the garbage and forcing things...Opera at least here (382-384 ram) runs faster and smoother then Firefox. Im considering going to Opera FT but waiting to see FF3 vs Opera 9.5 and then make my decision
