Install Internet Explorer 5.5, 6 or 7 on your lovely Linux OS


Finally, I've found a way to install Internet Explorer on my Ubuntu Linux OS. For this you need wine and a little kind of magic. Of course, I know what is a good browser (if you don't, pm me and I'll tell you), but I need IE for testing web pages on it, cause still a lot of people use it, and I can't just ignore them. Basically, I'm doing my websites in Firefox and additionally testing them in Opera. But after what I was tired of restarting my pc for just testing the sites in IE, I've been searching for a way of installing it on Linux. And I found it. Run the following commands in a shell:
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux
After what it will be installed on your pc, you can run it by entering in the 'bin' directory and typing 'ie6'. Voila!!! Also, if you want you can install at a glance IE5.5 and/or IE7. Run '--help' for more details about installation process. That's all for now!

P.S.: Don't forget about wine.
