I just checked- as I'm not normally an Opera user, and I was able to install it on two machines. On one I used synaptic and search for Opera, clicked the checkbox and clicked install...done on the other I used the terminal and typed "apt-get install opera" and it downloaded and installed in about 1 minute...done
I'm not saying its the preferable way to install software...but after setting up my sources I was able to install it twice with like one click.
Don't get me wrong...I really am not trying to force anyone to use and/or like Ubunut, but I really had the same frustrations at first and I've really changed my mind. I think if you look at it as "different from" rather than "harder than" XP/OS X it helps. So you dont (typically) go to web sites and download a binary installer, you use a package manager to install a pre-compiled binary...
I'm trying to like it, I really am. I tried to install via "add/remove"' in the applications menu and kept getting errors.
Here's the error I keep getting.

I haven't been able to figure out how to manually run this.
