Someone should contact Opera, as well as Trolltech. Hmm, I got a job offer from Opera a couple of months back, they wanted me to work on (amongst other things) Unix porting. Unfortunately, I had to turn that offer down as I didn't want to quit my current job. I cant tell you it was not easy to turn that offer down :( The Opera for Linux beta is quite usable, though it segfaults a lot (at least on FreeBSD). Opera is the only (relatively) sane graphical browser I know of, so I'm very anxious to see a Unix version ship.
