It has been a long time since I used the Opera web browser.  I am a big supporter of open source, but I have always had a soft spot in my heart for that little browser from Norway.  I first tried opera back when it was version 2.0, must be 7 years ago now and I used it almost continuously until about a year ago.  Opera 5/6 for Linux were O.K., but very unstable and had poor plugin support.  I was intrigued to see Opera 7.5 beta 1 was out, so I tried it.  It is fast and slick and has very nicely done fonts.  The interface is a little too funky when you first open it, but I quickly changed that.  I will let you know how it works out.  Even as a beta, it is super stable so far, better than Mozilla.  One complaint though, it is trying to be something of a full communications center, which is fine, but I like the programs I have been using and I think I will continue using my old programs as well.
