I would agree Paul. I still can't figure out why the rpms I download fail
but the tarfile installed without problem. I REALLY like the way Opera
displays and manipulates bookmarks. The fact that it automatically
loads Netscape and KDE bookmarks is a real bonus. The download transfer
window is really nice as well. Download speeds (DSL) seem a wee bit
better than Netcrash. It seemed to have no problems reading any of the
pages (mostly Linux sites) that I went to. No evidence of the font
problems I sometimes see with Netscape.
The program does have some problems, however. In the hour or so that I
have played with it it crashed twice, though it did so without affecting
Linux which is a step up from Nutscape. One downside, however, is that it
seems to save its settings only when you exit so a crash causes anything
you've set up to be lost. Time will tell whether it replaces Netscape on
my desktop but it's got a good chance.
