    Very wise !

     For Opera you will need a hard disk install as well as adding some extra 
libraries.
This is not applicable to someone getting a first look at Linux with a loop 
install.

   I have been in a similar position - in fact I still have four 
pay-by-the-hour ISP accounts each with several email addresses.  So, in 
practice, I use only the paid-for by the month ISP to log on to the internet, 
but I can access each and every one of my other email accounts (by POP3/SMTP) 
from the one connection, both in DOS (Arachne) and in BasicLinux (Sylpheed).

    That way I don't use up any extra hours that I would have to pay for, but 
I can still make full use of the various mail servers.

Regards,
         Ron
