Opera download linux

Opera Software on Monday released its latest Opera 7 OS for the Linux operating system, complete with an email client.

Opera jumped to version 7.11 for the new Linux client, bringing it up to date with version 7.11 for Windows.

"With Opera 7.11 Linux is brought up to par with Windows," said Jon S. von Tetzchner, chief executive of Opera Software ASA, in a statement. "Now Linux users can enjoy the most advanced Web browser available with the most innovative e-mail client in recent years."

Opera 7.11 for Linux offers a slew of user-friendly features including the email client, previously reserved for Windows users. The M2 email client can handle POP3 email, and it contains an integrated spam filter.

The Opera 7.11 for Linux client also includes the "Wand" passport manager, the "M2" e-mail and news client, as well as the "FastForward," "Rewind," "Notes," and "Slideshow," features, which anticipate a user's next choice within a web page. Notes allows users to store notes associated with a web page, and the Slideshow feature allows a user to view a page of web photos as a series of slides.

Users can download the new client at Opera's download page.
