At first, I was hesitant to install IE on Ubuntu. Basically, I didn’t think I could trust it. But after spending hours and hours of development time waiting on my windows virtual machine to do anything in IE, I knew I had to try it.
IEs4Linux work great. I only use IE6, and it is great. At first glance, it seems to work exactly like IE on my virtual machine, except it runs as fast as a normal desktop application. This is definitely a tool any web developer who runs Linux should use.
If I notice any inconsistencies between IE on Linux vs. Windows, I will be sure to post it here.
IEs4Linux is indeed one of the greatest things since sliced bread.
Every once in a while, though, I do need to boot up a Windows VM. If you also use VMWare and haven’t installed it yet, VMWare Tools makes the virtual machine respond about a million times faster. It’s under VM -> Install VMWare Tools in the main VMWare menu.
