Oh, that's a pity. I always liked the faces of people seeing Opera
running on obviously non-x86, non-Windows (and non-mobile :-)
platforms. And since most of the Sparcs running Linux are the older,
slower ones, I was really happy to have such a lean and fast and
though full-featured web browser like Opera available. So will there
be further 9.2x maintenance builds or security updates?

On the other hand, I'm very happy about the 64-bit builds for Linux,
since more and more users need a 64-bit operating system here. I
myself have them running since September last year or so. Just
deployed the final amd64 9.50 .debs to our 64-bit workstations today.

I'll have a look, thanks.
