Installing Internet Explorer on Linux

Date November 18, 2006 by Isaac

I much prefer Firefox over IE, but my corporate Intranet was created only for IE and will absolutely not work with anything else. So, although my OS of choice is Linux I am forced to use Windows when I need something from the Intranet.

I've tried a few Wine helper tools designed to install Internet Explorer on Linux, but have never had any luck getting IE to work. Today I ran into the IEs4Linux project and it worked perfectly. In just a few minutes IE6 was installed and is running correctly under Linux.

That's one less thing I need to be totally free of Windows. :)
