[ale] Opera 7.11 Linux Final is Out

[Dow Hurst]

You have to judge software based on it's track record.  I use Nvidia 
drivers which are closed source because they work well for my needs.  I 
use Mozilla for web and mail since I am used to it and the security bugs 
are fixed quickly and are few and far between.  One is closed source and 
the other isn't.  But, the track record shows that my choices aren't bad 
from a security standpoint.  Sticklers for open source may not want to 
take advantage of closed source packages.  It really is a matter of 
choice, which I think is a healthy thing to have available.
