For work I HAVE to use that other stuff cause my Company uses some

messing with it!

Heck its their money so what can I say!!!

Recently their glorious IT department made some changes in their website
and I am told we must use Internet Explorer to access these new
features. They are right, I have tried and failed to have full use with
Firefox, Galeon, Konqueror and Opera.

Is there a program or a way to adjust any of these popular web browsers
to emulate Internet Explorer?
There are times I need to access these sites for WORK and hate to switch
over to the WRONG side of my laptop's partition.

Your input will be greatly appreciated!


Thanks,


You can run IE in Linux with wine:

Or you can run the whole windows in Linux with VMware.
I've made instructions to put it in openSUSE:

There's also VirtualBox, included in openSUSE which does the same thing.
I've been happy with VMware, so I've got no experience with the latter.

I'd reckon just for the browser, use Wine :)

But that requires that they purchase Winders. And none of those virtual
machines will work with many modern computers because the manufacturers do
not provide Windows disks anymore. A great many of them have a restoration
partition that wipes out the harddrive and restores the computer to its
pristine, just bought condition. Even if the VM is free, it is going to
cause an outlay of cash for the Winders disks.
