Get Opera from www.opera.com.  7.23 worked for me everywhere but would not 
always install with install.sh after unpacking on / in which case run it 
from the directory it unpacks into with the opera script /opera*/opera.

Get the tgz or tar.gz package for glibc 2.2.5 (Slackware 8.1), static for 
qt - you may need to get the Debian package - and also install the 2.2.5 
files that it needs from my site: 
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/operalib.tgz. Also install Steven's 
icewm.tgz, which makes opera work better and also contains some needed 
libraries.

Opera 8.54 also needs libz from SW8.1 and does not work on all our 
computers.  I have not tried 9.

Search old postings from this winter or spring for more details on Opera.
