[OU] 64bit Opera

[Luther Gulseth]

Nice.  Ubuntu was the first distro I tried and will get the boot to the curb.  They do not support any of the plugins (Java,Flash,Acrobat,Shockwave, etc) in the 64bit distro.  Also, it's not backwards compatible to 32bit aps.  The latest 64bit Mepis DVD contains all the required plugins AND is 32bit compliant.  I'll know soon which one works the best.

Access the above link and search for "OS Integration". Apparently, the
9.5 will come with 64bit builds:
