“Opera 4.0 beta 5 for Linux is available on Intel x86 platform.
PPC is soon to come.”

Opera for Linux has been tested on RedHat Linux 6.2, Debian
Potato 2.2, Slackware 7, NetBSD 1.5_BETA/i386, and Linux Mandrake
7.1; we’ll be releasing versions regularly now with the progress
updated. There are now also ports to other platforms working nearly
as well as the RedHat Linux 6.2 version is.

“Qt 2.2.2 has been used to make this version of Opera for Linux.
Qt 2.2.2 can be downloaded from a few different sites. Most sites
that carry the KDE project make Qt 2.2 available as binaries or
packages. Otherwise download the Qt 2.2.2 source files from
www.trolltech.com and compile it for your system. Opera requires
the -gif option to be used when configuring Qt to compile. Once it
is compiled make sure to add the $QTDIR/lib directory to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in order to run Opera
properly.”
