I'm told - altho have not tried it myself - that you can compile and run IE for Unix on a Linux box. Sure, just check out it's source code from cvs.microsoft.com, run ./configure --without-win32 --target=GNU_Linux-Intel, and then make install, right? I get it; that's supposed to be humor,

90% of the commands, at least, are basic Unix commands, not specific to Linux or Debian. O'Reilly's Unix in a Nutshell, or Linux in a Nutshell, should do fine as a simple reference. Personally I find Unix Power Tools to be my bible of Unix black magick. But won't tell you about the BEST
