Hi Pete !
You CAN run Internet Exploder on Linux !

Think I'd have to disagree that Linux is not user-friendly -
I find WinDoze very confusing & awkward to do simple
things ... many clicks required, and sometimes it just
WILL NOT let me delete a file or stop a process, no
matter what !! This is an OS ??!!! It doesn't walk &
chew gum simultaneously very well, either....
I'm a bit prejudiced - been running Linux for over
10 years ... Knoppix for at least 5 - really like the stability -
NEVER had a BSOD style crash, and NEVER had spyware,
malware, etc., etc. ..... it is possible, in a limited way,
but MUCH harder on the linux/unix architecture.
