Some short comments (I must admit that I didn't completely understand what you asked for):
1) We ask you not to send bug reports to us, since we have enough bugs to work on, anyway. As soon as we hit BETA stage, we will open up to bug reports.
4) Qt 2.1 is no longer an alpha, it is a released product.
5) If you have questions, please ask in opera.linux We try to answer as time permits.

The binaries in the DEB archive is the same one as the one in the tarball, so there should be no difference, other than that there are a few more files included in the DEB version.
Unfortunately, our information about where to find the libraries for Qt 2.1 has been somewhat lacking, but we are in the works of fixing that glitch on the web pages.
And for those that wonder; yes we are planning to release RPMs as well. It's just that the DEB archiving happened to be finished first (which partly is because I'm a Debian developer myself).

Does Opera support Java/SSL/JavaScript/DHTML though?
The Linux version of Opera supports almost everything that the Windows version does, and that includes SSL version 2 and 3, and TLS version 1 at 128-bit encryption. There are some lacking support of client certificates at the moment.
Java support is in the works.
EcmaScript (JavaScript) support is at the same level as the Windows version, which means that it is not 100% complete yet.
I do not think that we are supporting DHTML, but don't quote me on that (it's not my part of the code). But if the Windows version doesn't support it, neither will the Linux version.

I wish somebody at Opera could please answer me this though: why, oh why use an MDI interface for a web browser?
It has worked well for the Windows version, and since we are first and foremost porting the Windows version, the Linux version gets the same UI. However, there are plans to also provide an SDI interface in the future. But I do not know if this will be completed in time for the 4.0 final release.
