If you’re thinking that we would be installing a Torrent program like utorrent, you’re mistaken. We’re going to install web browser Opera. Yes, Opera has the capability to download movies and programs (albeit illegally), say from mininova.com. My EEEPC has the original Xandros installed.

Here’s how to install Opera in EEEPC:

1. Press Control + Alt + T to open the terminal. I did the installation in the easy mode.

2. Open the editor by typing the following in the console window.
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

3. Choose any from the following list and add it in the editor. I don’t know how they differ, but hey, we’re installing Opera anyway:

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ potato non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ woody non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ sarge non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ etch non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ lenny non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ sid non-free

4. Save the changes by hitting the Save button. You should be back to the console window. If not, do Step 1.

5. Type the following in the console window:
sudo apt-get update

6. Type this to the console window:
sudo apt-get install opera

7. If ever you will get an error saying that you do not have a key installed, type the following. All of this should be typed in. Take note that there are two spaces  before 6A423791 in all of the three lines, and two spaces before “sudo apt.” This is very critical as I didn’t notice the spaces at first so I cannot get Opera installed.

sudo gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv-key 6A423791
sudo gpg –fingerprint  6A423791
sudo gpg –armor –export  6A423791|  sudo apt-key add -

8. After the installation, type in
opera
in the console window. That’s how you can launch Opera. If you want to add an icon, that’ll be another post.
