Installing Opera on test machines is easy. Here is one example:

wget http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-521/intel-linux/opera-9.10-20061214.1-static-qt.i386-en.rpm
rpm -vi opera-9.10-20061214.1-static-qt.i386-en.rpm

To learn about the most recent builds of Opera, check the Opera desktop blog and select the statically linked rpm packages for Unix/intel-linux.

Opera offers keyboard shortcuts that may come handy:

  • q/a navigates up/down in links
  • w/s navigates up/down in headings
