If you have office apps covered, you might still come across some IE-only sites. You can try to play around with FireFox's User Agent Switcher addon, or you can install IE on x86 Linux easily enough with the IEs4Linux script provided at: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page Some sites still may not work, but it is a step up from the User Agent switcher for some incompatible, proprietary sites, and it is free (beer). -- Rick -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
