I started seeking and found out the Ie4linux http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page which claims to make IE operate in some Linux environment, including Debian, so another question came, what if I use easy Debian, would it work? How should I do it? Hope anyone can help.
Note: I'm not a pro tech, just a beginner user, so excuse for any foolish written here.
well ie4linux depends on winehq witch emulates a fake c: drive and uses some dll files and alot of other things with registry and so on.
i have no idea if that would work on n900 inside easy debian but give it a try you cant break anything .....

I don`t to be rude but you really should change your bank. No one should force you to use closed browser as IE especially a bank which you can change at any given moment.

You could change the UserAgent to say its IE - it'll probably work ok once it 'thinks' you're in IE?

This needs Wine. And Wine needs x86 processor for running x86 Windows applications so it's not portable to N900.

People ragging on the thread starter for asking a question; suggesting he change banks are off topic AFAIC. Telling a guy he has a lame excuse or should change banks does nothing to further the goal of determining if IE can run on the N900. If you aren't going to be helpful - stay home.

Quite a number of banks and government institutions still use ActiveX which is only supported in IE. That's reality. And no - you can't change government institutions easily.
