Well I have to give some kudos to the fine folks at WineHQ. They now support IE6. It's not that I like the browser, but a majority of people still use it so as a web developer it's nice to have it handy to check out sites in. Now I can run it in Linux sans QEmu. I appreciate that. Some instructions (actually for Media Player 9, which requires IE, so only the first two are relevant. The script creates a full .wine installation just for IE and you have to copy it to where your install should be (~/.wine, so it's a fresh install).

And the obligatory screenshot.

Oh yeah, and I immediately saw that IE was rendering fonts in pre tags to small so I fixed that.
