As mentioned in my first post on this thread, I had some problems with
Opera, too. I'll expound:
1) no .deb for PPC (as you mentioned)
-- I think Alien took care of this
2) Install went smoothly, but when I ran it, it complained about not
finding a dynamic C++ library (version 6.xxx, IIRC). I couldn't find
(using dselect) tha listed library.
I used Opera when I had Debian Potato installed. I really liked it. It had
a clean interface, and worked quick (I'm only using a PowerMac7500 with a
250MHz G3 card). I was sorely disappointed that it didn't work this time.
It also primarily uses the left button; this is good b/c I still use an
Apple One Button mouse (F11 and F12 are middle and right buttons).
