For testing web pages in IE. it occurred to me a couple weeks ago [snip 
long, painful story] that I could install IE under the otherwise unused 
code weavers crossover Office license I have on my machine, and run IE 6 
more-or-less "locally" on my Linux desktop. IE still runs like the herd 
of retarded turtles that it is, but I don't have to fire up VMware and 
windows to run the mostly-useless browser for testing now.

I do enjoy running Linux! ... and I think I'll double the RAM in my server.
