You can't get Internet Explorer for Linux; Microsoft doesn't make one.
If you _really_ want IE4Linux, petition Microsoft to build it.

There isn't a version for Linux. I'm told that IE5 will run (badly)
under Wine if you want to fiddle...

Ah well, M$ did produce a unix version of IE once upon a time (IE2?) ;-)
As for petitioning them -it doesn't even work to get them to fix their
own crap stuff, never mind write what somebody else wants!

Mozilla 18 seems to be pretty close. The email and news section seems
pretty close to Outlook Express.

M$ can't even get the thing to work properly under Window$, which they
wrote. I dred to think of the state it would be in if they ported it to
Linux.
Use Mozilla, it is very good!

That doesn't just apply to IE!

Personally, I like some of the apps that M$ have put out.
IE 5.X and Outlook Express being two.
I think Word Pad is a really good program, as well.
I have tried Netscrape here in Windows and Linux (what else is stable enough?)
I have tried Opera for both BeOS, Windows (bought it) and the beta for Linux.
None of the above mentioned are that stable, or lack features, or just plain buggy.
Mozilla is still in infancy as well. I want and need a stable, fully featured, fully
capable
browser. Mostly, there are allot of "stable betas" around, and while I agree, most
things
in ANY OS are constantly being improved upon. The internet applications should be
for most on any ones list to get stabilized, replete with as many features and
customizations as possible, as quickly as possible. People are not going to want to
switch to an OS that gives them allot of grief everytime they surf the web (going to
sites that have a certain 'Flash' display, or whatever. Try going to the Atom Films site
in Netscrape and see what happens)(Also, it doesn't matter if a "geek" or "guru" says
that kind of stuff isn't important, but it is to the "common" user) or want to send an
E-Mail or check in with their favorite News Group. Then there are the features and
customizations to look at.
For Business or Personal use, this area has to improve and stabilize in order to bring
more interest to the "common" folks out there. Keep in mind not all of us are "geeks"
and "gurus", many of us (and our numbers are growing) are wanting to make use of Linux
for personal use, and small business. AND, for myself, I don't mind learning the basics,
but having to learn how to write a script, or edit something in order to get it working,
is a bit much. It can be exciting at times, but when you are constantly having to do
these kinds of tweaks and changes, and it keeps you from the tasks that you originally
turned the machine on to do, it just gets to be a bit much at times.
Personally, I think that Mandrake and KDE (and soon Gnome) will fill many of these gaps.
I have faith and patience, but I hate it when I read in here that "yet someone else" has
to lower themselves and totally trash M$, when they, essentially, have the drivers, the
mostly stable apps replete with features galore (the OS is what's not stable, in most
cases), supported hardware up the yin/yang, and a great browser that I happen to like.
Yea, Microsoft is a money hungry bunch, but they DO put out some decent stuff,
here and there.
I suspect that with KDE 2.0 I may finally have my solution to the "browser"
problem and from what I have read the mail program and news client programs
are pretty good too. We shall see.
Hate Bill if you want, but there are a few good apps from that OS, that I wish
would be ported over. I'd pay money for them!!
Have a nice day.
Richard : )~

Richard, I have to stick my oar in here -the last thing needed or
wanted is 'customizations'. M$ already try and include things not in
W3C spec, if everybody started doing this you'd need a different
browser for each web site -Oh by the way my site uses GSDX extensions.
What you haven't heard of them? Just one example of a 'customization'.

Netscape 6 is the most compliant of any browser. It may be a 'stable
beta' but it's more stable than IE.If people choose to build their
sites using non standard features they have to expect people to have
difficulty with them and go elsewhere.

I wouldn't consider myself to fall in either category (although I may
be wrong) but standards are what is necessary. Look what happened to
MSN -take a good idea, make it proprietory, and watch it fail to
deliver what was expected. The web is only ever going to be useful if
people stick to the rules and not try their own 'customizations'

If you can't/don't want to do ityourself pay somebody else to do it for
you!

Sorry if you thinki I'm "yet someone else" -I am anti M$ but mainly
because a lot of there stuff DOESN'T do what it's suppose to: IE 5.5
causes a page fault about every 3 hours with '98SE and I have no way of
fixing that. Mind you to be fair 'you get what you pay for' and I did
download it... Then again I *did* pay for Office 2000 and that has a
significant bug in when you try to email reports it crashes -every
time. I think that's a VBA issue but I bet I'll never know or get it
fixed.

dependent is their counter to Java, ActiveX. Java does not discriminate
and will run on any platform around, Win, MAC, Unix, etc. whereas
ActiveX will run only on a Windows based machine. Now try and tell me
that MS is not trying to corner the market everywhere they can...? I
think Java will win out in the endrun.

nope nobody can tell you where to find it.

I don't think MS would like it if you could use a "part of win98" on
Linux. I do think it's a far superior browser to Netscape though...
Cape Fear Academy Senior
Microsoft and they don't exactly do Linux apps. For an alternative you
will need to try Netscape, which can be downloaded from netscape.com,
or Lynx which is just a text based browser, which can be downloaded
from lynx.browser.org

don't really miss that <weg> It does browser, mail and NG much like
Netscape (written by ex-nescapers I think). New fixes and additions are
added often.

Actually this is for UNIX not Linux. My understanding is that this version
will NOT run on Linux.
