Internet Explorer on Linux??

You mostly want to check for web page compatibility with IE if you're doing some web app stuff. So whats the solution if you prefer to use a linux distro rather than Windoz??

Enter ies4linux. ies4linux installs IE binaries over Wine. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. ies4linux has a script which will download the IE setup files right from the microsoft site, and install over Wine. The best part is that you can install multiple versions of IE as well ;)

That sounds ridiculously easy!
