Is there a site like "Opera For Dummies?"

I just downloaded Opera to my Linux Mint 8 'Helena' partition and am have trouble interpreting the set up instructions (bookmarks toolbar, etc).

I am reasonably literate having worked with IE8, Firefox, Swiftfox, K-Meleon, on both Windows XP and Linux Mint. I believe the terminology is confusing me. Would really appreciate a referral to a site which can help me beyond the tutorials on Opera. Would I be better off setting up Opera on Windows XP first??

I do have a post graduate degree, so I am not too dense, even if my appearance suggests otherwise.

Thanks,
Dick

Hi there,
at this moment, i can recall two sites, that may be of some help,
http://www.aimwell.org/Help/Tips/tips.html
and
http://operawiki.info/VisualTutorials

Doesnt make any difference where to install opera first.
Lets say for example, that you install opera to os1 first. Then, by using the menu FILE>IMPORT and EXPORT, you can export and save somewhere your bookmarks and then, move them to the second OS. From there, select again FILE>IMPORT and EXPORT to import the bookmarks.

I suggest you to start messing around with the tab TOOLS, submenus APPEARANCE and PREFERENCES.

(If you have a fast connection, DO NOT enable Opera Turbo. Leave it to automatic).

Enjoy Opera!

http://frans.lowter.us/2010/01/25/30-days-to-becoming-an-opera-lover/ is perhaps not precisely what you're looking for seeing how it's aimed at Opera 8, but you could take a peek at it.

Press F1.

Hmmm, that looks mean with only two words. I don't mean it that way; Opera's help pages are among the best out there and surely the best place to start.
