Google talk can use multiple codecs for VOIP, that means you can trade for lesser quality and lesser bandwidth or high quality @ 128 kbps.

Thechnically, Google talk can work on 32 kbps and voice quality is not great but acceptable.

How to actually tweak these settings?

I hope they would point out the procedure somewhere in the manuals.

If you've installed any other software previously, this one is pretty much the same too.

Its like a fattened up version of firefox.
The nice thing about it is, it can dynamically switch rendering of each page on a tab, between either the gecko or IE, engines.

it can remember site specific settings for rendering engine and other settings.

No its not pretty much the same. My OS is from an historical era. I use Fedora Core 2. Didn't know whether Opera would want any newer libs and stuff. You were wrong though, the installation isn't pretty much the same! It ROCKS! It was a GUI install and it ran smoothly... No problems. The only problem I am facing is to get "CTRL + Click" to open a link in a new background tab. Any tips from the Opera gurus?

middle click?from what i know opera works fine on tons of Operating Systems. and linux distros should not be any different.
