Opera 9.5 Beta 2

Opera 9.5 Beta 2 is out. The reason I am excited about this is that I have an x86_64 processor running linux. Opera 9.5 is the first version of Opera to be 64 bit compatible. Finding the x86_64 binary on their website however isn't all that easy. To find it, you have to navigate the mirror site which you have selected to download from. I used this one:

ftp://opera.nsc.no/pub/nsc.no/mirrors/operasoftware/linux/950b2/final/en/x86_64/

The easiest way to try beta 2 is to download the tar.gz file, unzip to your favourite folder and just run the opera executable.
