Question Can I run IE6 in Linux?


I've a 3rd party program which works only with IE 5.5 and above.
work well with Java 1.3 but not java 1.4
have tested with Mozilla and Netscape, both also can't work.

How can I run my web-based program under Suse Linux 9?

Please anyone help me...

Internet Explorer may work with with WINE, see www.winehq.org for details. There are also commercial programs such as CrossOver Office that IE works under - www.codeweavers.com.

What applictation is it, as there may be alternatives to using Internet Explorer?

I hope this helps

Ian,

I need your feed back very much. tq so much

it's an ERP application, I could use SSH client in Linux to run the application..
but for report viewing, character mode client never better than browser / GUI output.

that's why I wish to have my webclient in place under Linux.

Am now looking into Wine, not very sure how it works.. and how to install it.

btw, anyone did tried wine for IE6??

and..... what is firefox?

Hey Rachelle;

Mozilla has a skinny kid brother. His name is Firefox, but I don't think that app would work as IE does, seeing as how it is based on Netscape code.

Opera could possibly perform this function, though.

It was sort of comical little browser when I ran it on XP, back in my ISP days...it was not too good at guessing what the site being browsed was optimized for, so it would often guess wrong and really screw it up.

However, there was a feature that the newer versions still use, and that is that, like Konquerer, Opera can pretend to be IE4, 5, 5.5, 6, or 6.1 if you want it to.

That little function, along with their refusal to not use the latest technology (including Java code), just might be what lets it perform well for you.

Hope it works out. Let me know!!

Best regards,

FastVFR
