[SLUG] IE on Ubunto
I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed and use Firefox for browsing the web. Every so often some one tells me You must look at this but this is coded for IE only. I am not inclined to buy another PC just to look at the occasional web site in IE Is there a simple solution (cheap) to this dilemma?

You can either dual-boot Windows natively, install Windows in a virtual machine that runs inside Linux, or you can emulate IE in Linux using Wine. To do *any* of those options legally, you must have a valid Windows licence. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Wunz upon a tyme ANZ would accept IE for internet banking and they told me that their app worked with IE only. Fiddling with about:config I had firefox (or whatever it used to be) ID as IE on Winders. And the app worked. When confronted by this ANZ relented and accepted other browsers. So I'm sure that if you spelunk enough about:config will allow you to set your ID and OS James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
