  Welcome to the Opera Web browser. It is smaller, faster, customizable,
  powerful, yet user-friendly. Opera eliminates sluggish performance, HTML
  standard violations, desktop domination, and instability. This robust Web
  browser lets you navigate the Web at incredible speed and offers you the

using
  gcc-4.0.0.
