Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 on openSUSE 11.1 – Review
I thought i’d give a quick review of Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 that I recently installed on my openSUSE 11.1 RC1 box. First a little information from Opera’s website:
What’s new: Updated engineOpera Presto 2.2 is the newest rendering engine for the Opera browser.

I went ahead and downloaded Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 from here. Atlanta Chiropractors . I then upgraded my 9.62 to 10.0 Alpha 1 by running sudo rpm -Uvh opera-10.00-4102.gcc4-shared-qt3.i386.rpm. Now started the fun. I launched firefox, and opera and went and opened up my gmail account, and right away noticed the speed of the new opera blew away the previous version 9.62. The previous Opera 9.62 also blew away Firefox 3, so you can only imagine how much faster this test was for me. I then decided I would test out some flash pages (finance.google.com) and browsed some other sites that I visit often, and right away noticed the blazing speed that Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 gave me over the other browsers during every day normal browsing. I originally switched to Opera a few years ago in the 8 family, and the recent 9.x experiences has solidified it to be my primary browser of choice. I have also started using it for other things like IRC chatting, and am currently testing the mail functions with my gmail account (currently I use Kmail). 
Currently the only issues I have had with this Alpha build is a single crash on finance.google.com when I tried to press back before the flash portion of the page finished loading. And the theme I use hasn’t been ported so it looks a little different then it did in 9.62. But again nothing major in my hour of normal every day use testing. Great job to all the Opera developers and really looking forward to the 10.0 release and am really looking forward to fully testing the mail features with gmail and hope to convert from Kmail to opera mail (I just have to test to see how the deleting of messages are handled. If they get moved to trash, or if the labels are just removed. I hope they get moved to the trash when deleted in IMAP (this is how dIMAP works for me in Kmail.).
