I have been a Suse Linux user for several years now.
Currently use OpenSuse 10.3 looking forward to 11.0

For work I HAVE to use that other stuff cause my Company uses some
programs written for that stuff and we ARE required to use it WITH OUT
messing with it!

Heck its their money so what can I say!!!

Recently their glorious IT department made some changes in their website
and I am told we must use Internet Explorer to access these new
features. They are right, I have tried and failed to have full use with
Firefox, Galeon, Konqueror and Opera.

Is there a program or a way to adjust any of these popular web browsers
to emulate Internet Explorer?
There are times I need to access these sites for WORK and hate to switch
over to the WRONG side of my laptop's partition.

Your input will be greatly appreciated!


Thanks,

You can run IE in Linux with wine:
http://www.winehq.org/

Or you can run the whole windows in Linux with VMware.
I've made instructions to put it in openSUSE:

There's also VirtualBox, included in openSUSE which does the same thing.
I've been happy with VMware, so I've got no experience with the latter.

I'd reckon just for the browser, use Wine

It heavily depends on what they are looking for and what test they do
and when. It could be that they just see what the broeser is. That
should be easy to go around.
It could also be that they do some test on the first page and the next
page doesn't, so you need to go to the second page.
It could also be that it calls some things and needs to do some things
that is only available in IE.

Again, it depends on what check they use and why wether it will be
succesfull or not.

You can run Windows in a virtual manager or try out the following:

Firefox has an add-on called User Agent switcher where you can pick what
browser is is supposed to pretend to be.

Also there is IE4Linux which is a simple install and uses various versions
of IE running under Wine. The installation is easy.

But that requires that they purchase Winders. And none of those virtual
machines will work with many modern computers because the manufacturers do
not provide Windows disks anymore. A great many of them have a restoration
partition that wipes out the harddrive and restores the computer to its
pristine, just bought condition. Even if the VM is free, it is going to
cause an outlay of cash for the Winders disks.

Before spending money, try this. Open Konqueror web browser, go to
configure, and try setting the browser identification as Internet
Explorer for the company website. If there are no active x tags it
should work.
