I wonder how I managed to miss Kazehakase, especially as its in the Ubuntu repositary - must be that I do not use Ubuntu very often, tend to use Vector or Sam, this tends to be Denises computer. Just had a look through the Ubuntu repositary for any other browsers I have missed. I have added a Dutch TeleText reader to this machine, not that I read Dutch, or TeleText, but interesting to have. What always irritates me about the Ubuntu repositary is that it gives a poularity rating for each program - Opera only gets 1 star, FireFox 5 (not suprising as it is the default browser), but even the Dutch TeleText reader gets 3 - you are not telling me that a Dutch TeleText reader is a lot more popular that Opera! Strictly speaking Opera is not in the default depositary which I feel is a great shame. On the subject of Kazehakase, it seems to be a very compitent browser. However, I can not find anywhere to stop it identifying itself as Netscape 5! I wondered if it might not be a better browser than FireFox in the Lintop computer - http://www.linutop.com - but previously it had struck me that Opera would be more suited to the Lintop than FireFox. As Lintop is a Linux machine they probably have gone for FireFox because it is a familiar name to the potential Windows customer. Thank you junkeR I now have yet another browser for my collection.

You have to go back to the wii shop and update the software by downloading the new version. Obvious really!

Someone should test it out more thoroughly and make a list of available shortcuts. That said, I don't think that most of the browsing can be done with keyboard exclusively. I'm loving the widget support, by the way :) From my informal testing last night, some Opera keyboard shortcuts work, but many don’t.
