Linux distro with Opera as default browser?

[wellofsouls]

I know since it's not open-source so it conflicts with Debian's free software guideline and stuff, but I wonder if there's any Linux distro out there that comes with Opera as the default browser?

You can, say, install Ubuntu, then just add/remove programs to add Opera. Then just change the web browser setting to Opera in System --> Preferences --> Preferred Applications. You could even then uninstall Firefox if you liked. :D

of course, I know that already (considering I've been using Arch Linux since 2003), what I'm interested to know is that if there is any Linux distro that actually comes by default with Opera, my personal favorite browser. :D

or maybe I can start a new distro with Opera as the default browser :laugh:

openSUSE lets u install it alongwith the OS in its non-OSS packages and you can install it as default by not choosing firefox

opera is proprietary software so i think its unlikely any linux dist would have it pre installed.

You'd be surprised how many proprietary software are in various Linux distros.

You want to switch distro just for its default web browser? :blink:

Linux itself has proprietary blobs in the vanilla kernel. This actually makes the vanilla kernel non-free software. There are distros like gNewSense which remove the blobs and contain only free software in the distro (gNewSense is derived from Ubuntu).

And Gobuntu.

nope, I won't switch distro, and my personal favorite distro (Arch Linux) doesn't even have a default web browser :laugh:

I'm just curious to know if there are any distro out there with Opera as the default browser ;)

Puppy Linux - Nearly Office Edition, or NOP, has Opera by default.
