Opera

Introduction

Opera is a tab-based web browser, just like Firefox. Some features include mouse gestures, preview of the tabs, Speed Dial, and Widgets.
For more info, visit www.opera.com.

Installation

To get Opera running, you need to do this:

- Go to www.opera.com/download
- Select Slackware as the distro, and choose version "Slackware 11.0, 12.0"
- Click Download, choose a directory where you're sure you'll find the .tar.gz file
- When the download is completed, navigate to the .tar.gz file, and unzip it either by right-clicking it in Thunar and select "Extract here", or by running the command "tar -xzvf opera*.tar.gz" in a terminal window.
- Navigate to the folder with the same name as the tarball
- From a terminal, do "./install", and follow the instructions
- When finished installing, run the command "opera", and see for yourself.

Enjoy!
