Thoughts on Opera for the DS as well as Ubuntu

I just read a good preview of the DS browser from organicchunkysalsa and from the looks of it, the browser would be part of my "must-buy" DS items when it comes out. At home, we have very limited space and we don't have the budget for a new laptop so having the DS connected online would be great for my wife and to my daughter even. I think it would be a great way to introduce the Internet to my 4 year old daughter and she's already well-versed on how to use the DS so it shouldn't be an issue for her.
Come to think of it, I didn't have access to such technologies when I was at her age!
There was also some weird feedback on having Opera easily installable in Ubuntu via a partnership with Canonical Ltd. While I'm all for free software, I'm also for end-user choice. Choice is one of the essential cornerstones of freedom so anything that tries to curb choice tries to lessen our freedom.
I could say that Opera is one of the few non-free applications that I like using and hope for the day when it truly becomes free. But for now, I'm still enjoying it despite its non-free nature.
