Was able to install Opera 8.52 as Debian Woody.

The new 9.0 missed libqt.

I am not too sure of this Opera is faster than Firefox but I'm giving it the benefit of doubt Noraay being a Scandinavian sister country. :-)

The icons for minimizing etc is missing though.

I deleted Firefox manually.

The regular version of Opera requires QT libs, among others.

For DSL, using the stacticly built version is better, because most of us aren't using QT for anything else.

It just so happened I was building an extension for v9 this week.. it hasn't been extensively tested but the risk is up to you

Please see thepacthq.net/hats/dsl

Also, DSL3 shares the same repository as 2, so you won't be seeing anything different (with the exception of the unionfs ones)
