General movement away from proprietary programs.  I'm not completely free, 
but moving that way.

Also, That was back in the 7.x branch of Opera and I believe it was 
available but looked like crap; or I was using a beta that wasn't 
available for linux yet; or it was binary-only and I was installing Gentoo 
(therefore wanted the advantages of compiling from source); or it just 
didn't integrate with KDE (my desktop environment of choice) as well.
