Unfortunately though I don’t like to boot windows on my system, I will be forced to switch back to windows to browse some websites and see whether they load fine or not on IE. There should be some alternate for this isn’t it?.
Using IE through wine (Windows Emulator), but that didn’t quite get along with Ubuntu. Later Wine-Doors made it bit easy to work with wine and install few windows applications without pain.
Still, IE had not worked. Didn’t check why it work. Yesterday I was desperately in need of IE but I could not boot into Windows. So, recalled IEs4Linux. Installed it real quick on my Ubuntu and started using it in minutes.IE 5,5.x,6, as well as 7 (beta). Except 7 all others work well.
Here is how you get it installed:
wget https://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux
Problem that needs to be fixed:
I’m unable to browse utf-8 content properly on these IE versions. Need to check how to install fonts that are required.
