<![CDATA[Can non-Debian Linux users use the beta versions?]]>Are beta versions of Opera for Linux ever presented in RPM format or (more flexibly) tar.bz2 format? Some long-reported issues have been resolved in the betas (or at least have workarounds possible in the betas), so it would be good to move beyond v. 12.16.

Thanks,

For example Arch users can install Opera from the AUR. Reports back from users of other distros suggest that Opera will indeed run quite well on non-Debian/Ubuntu based distros.

My scripts are linked from that github document.
