Using Opera as a browser...



I tried Opera when I discovered it in 1996.  I have followed it's 
development, anxiously awaiting a java release.  I have not gotten a chance 
to play with the Linux version, but must say the the Windoze version is a 
welcome change from IE and Netscape.  It is SOOOO much better. If they get a 
java version for Linux, it will be that much better.  In fact, I heard it 
said in a review of Opera, that is might take the place as Linux's browser 
of choice.

Regards,

jlk
