Presumably a variation on the theme will install Opera10 alpha. Is this indeed the case? How?

If you use Debian Lenny 5.0, use this apt line in apt sources:

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera lenny non-free

Then import the key as usual, aptitude update, aptitude install opera

You will find it in Applications->Internet->Opera, version 9.63 (as of 2 Jan 2008).

Mozaddid, which linux distro and version are you using? Also, you can always start it by typing “opera” in your terminal window.
