I rarely used R with remote display, so it is not a concern for me.
That's not what -remote is used for. It allows you to open a file in an already-running version of the browser.
But indeed, there is no support for Java in Opera under Linux. I am not aware that the search engine (in R ?) need Java support. Hopefully this support will be added in later version of Opera.

My point is that if one launches help.start(browser="foo"), it means that one would like to use foo as browser, so default browser should be set to foo. -- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: Dinh-Tuan.Pham@imag.fr Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex 9 (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
