Hi, My primary machine is a Ubuntu "natty narwall" lappy. I was wondering, is there a way of installing IE on it? I only have a small harddrive , so a virtual machine isn't really a option. Any ideas?

You could try running a standalone version with WINE?

The other way is to try to run it on virtual machine (with installed WinXP for example).
I'm using "VirtualBox" on my Mac OS X Lion to run Windows XP (to test my web sites under IE)

Thanks for your advice, but I stated this in my original post:
