Opera
Open a browser and go to http://www.opera.com/browser/download/; select Debian as the distribution and then Debian 4.0 (Etch), Debian Testing (Lenny), Debian Unstable (Sid) and click on the Download Opera button:
On the next page, a download dialogue should pop up; click on Save File:
After the download has finished, right-click on the downloaded file and select Open with "Gdeb" from the menu:
A new window opens - click in Install:
Type in the root password:
A terminal window opens where the package is installed. Press ENTER after the successful installation to close the terminal:
---
A second way to install Opera is to use gdebi as root from the command line. In contrast to Gdeb, gdebi resolves all dependencies of a package, so you should use this if you are getting dependency problems with Gdeb.
Open a terminal and become root:
su
You can then install Opera as follows:
gdebi /home/falko/Desktop/opera_9.63.2474.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb
Make sure you use the correct path; also the package name can differ, for example if there is a newer version - use the TAB key to use autocompletion in the terminal.
Skype

On the next page, a download dialogue should open. Download the file to your computer...
