I've been using the 9.5 alpha today and it hasn't crashed on me once yet. Its fast as usual with Opera, and seems pretty stable.

They've got some work to do with stability but it's a good release. I think there's reason to believe the new Opera is partially based on Gecko.

I like Opera and I like this release, but I'm waiting for the QT4 "weekly" now.

I'm not very fond of Opera, but it is good news to know that there is a Linux version of the new 9.5 alpha, the more people use the product, the more feedback, they'll get, and the more bugs will be fixed. Kudos to Opera for supporting Linux! (I know its been the case for some releases now, just wanted to point that out)
