Install Opera in Ubuntu Intrepid Step-by-Step
I have been a Firefox fan since it was a baby. What can I say, open source programs always get my attention. But since I'm using Ubuntu Hardy I was a little bit disappointed with both Ubuntu and Firefox. I mean, why Ubuntu have to include Firefox 3.0 ? Firefox always crash on flash site such as youtube, and yahoo videos. It never play nice with my Compaq Presario v3000.

I'm not condemning neither Ubuntu nor Firefox but I just hope that I have a unusual desktop system to show off to my friends.
Then I upgrade to Intrepid, I know Intrepid is still alpha stage but who can blame me? I just want to TEST if whether my Firefox problems is fix in Intrepid using new kernel.
I'm full of hopes this will be fix later but for now, I think Opera is the next best thing. I 'll gave Opera a fair chance, who knows it can be as conforming to use as Firefox. I prepared some screenshot of what happened today.
