Internet Explorer for Linux
No, the title of this post isn't a joke. IEs 4 Linux is a Bash shell script that will download and install Internet Explorer versions 5, 5.5, and 6 plus Flash Player 8 on your Linux box (to be run with Wine, of course) without any interaction required on your part. Why, oh why, would you want to do that? Well, despite Firefox's ever-increasing market share, you can't yet get away with not testing your web site in IE, so it's handy for Linux-using web developers to have a copy of IE.[Via ozmm]

Does it come with the same bugs as on windows?
I hope so because it would be useless if it doesn't have the same bugs.

You can badmouth Windows and IE all you want (and they deserve plenty), but it's what most people use. Any web developer who doesn't test their work using IE within a true Windows environment isn't really testing.

Too true Peter. And with Dells as cheap as they are, there is no excuse for not having a little Windows box. You may not use it much for testing, so just let it sit in the corner ripping DVDs.

i use linux on my desktop and windows on my laptop, i use gnome and gdesklets and on average my linux uses less ram than a virgin install of windows, and you can use a choice of desk top enviroments easily

True, but is RAM really a problem anymore? My new home PC cost me about $600 at Staples and came with a 1 GB of RAM!
