Have you tried Konqueror, or Mozilla? Why do you use Opera?
I just loaded Suse 9.1, which uses KDE 3.2, and I am extremely pleased
with the whole distribution. I use Evolution 1.4 as my email client,
rather than KMail, and Open Office. This new Suse distro has everything
that I need now, except that I can't get my Linksys USB Wireless adapter
to work on it yet but that is the fault of Linksys rather than Suse
(it's a driver problem.)
Which GUI do you use? I tried Gnome but KDE is better in every way IMHO.
