Run Microsoft Internet Explorer on SLED 10!

Submitted by Aldo Zanoni on January 17, 2007 - 6:24pm.

Many Linux desktop migrations are being postponed because users need to access web sites that have Internet Explorer dependencies? This was the case for some of our Desktop Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop customers.

So, how did we help them get around the Internet Explorer required challenge? By having them install the the free, Open Source IEs4Linux solution. One quick installation script and you're done! IEs4Linux uses the "Cabextract" and "WINE" packages to deliver full compatibility between Internet Explorer and Linux.

When running the IEs4Linux installation script, it downloads versions of Internet Explorer from Microsoft.com and installs them. Once IEs4Linux is installed, your users can run Internet Explorer 6, 5.5 and 5 directly on their SUSE Linux desktops. Support for IE 7 is also available separately.

No more problems accessing web sites that have Microsoft Internet Explorer dependencies. An additional bonus is that IEs4Linux installs and lets you run Adobe Flash 9 which is otherwise unavailable on Linux. (Author's note: At the time of publication, Flash 9 was not available on Linux browsers. It is now available.)
