So, what's the difference between this and building a server in a usual way?

Also, how is the security with all these featuers? Is it compatible with firewall softwares people have?

It's a great moment to remind words of one of our members:

Opera justs keeps gettin better and better without getting more bloated.

Opera always seems to impress me with what they come up with.

The only thing I'm concerned about is security.

I've been meaning to try the new opera, this looks like a good enough reason

If I didn't have my dear old Firefox, Opera would definitely be my choice for browsing.
