How to install Microsoft Internet Explorer on Linux in two easy steps
I am not a big fan of Internet Explorer but sometime you need Internet Explorer on Linux for:
=> Testing purpose (web developers)
=> To see IE only sites (many sites still only works with IE for example my bank site and few essential government site)
You need to use Wine to run IE. But there is a small collection of shell script exists which makes your life quite easy. It is called Ies4linux.
IEs4Linux is the simpler way to have Microsoft Internet Explorer running on Linux (or any OS running Wine).
No clicks needed. No boring setup processes. No Wine complications. Just one easy script and you'll get three IE versions to test your Sites. And it's free and open source.

URL updated.
Appreciate your feedback.
i am trying to install ie and it keeps saying i need to install cabextract, which i have. help please
Cabextract allows you to use microsoft .CAB archives.
Just look for it on your synaptic pack manager.
It does not appear to be two “easy” steps, more like 25, each of which is more complicated and obscure than the last. Could you possible explain your two “easy” steps?
I am new to linux, but have used MSDOS and I need to have Internet Explorer on my Asus eee 4G to access websites for my work. I am not the slightest bit interested in why anyone thinks that Firefox is better than IE7.
Many thanks
Colin
