Well, we can start to agree that FreeBSD is not a "distro", but a UNIX operating system. :) Opera is available in the ports system as 3rd party software made to work on FreeBSD. There are 3 opera ports, which you can view here: http://www.freshports.org/www/opera http://www.freshports.org/www/opera-devel http://www.freshports.org/www/linux-opera (through linux emulation) There are no issues I'm aware of, that's specific to the FreeBSD/Opera combination (no flash support is an issue with Adobe, not Opera and I got one bugreport in the queue, that I'm also not sure is FreeBSD specific, more built-in torrent application specific). -- Mel
