Hi Rick:

Thanks. Yes, Duron PC is a short term solution.  When I get this up and
running later, anticipate encounter issue: what happen to tomcat apps
that's written for IE browser ?  What is the closest browser on linux
should I consider use ?

Thats why I start install Firefox on RH 7.3 before but did not work.
Install appear to finish but when run firefox.bin nothing happen.

Thx, Eddie

You have me at a disadvantage, in asking that question, because I don't
really know what it means for a Tomcat servlet to be written for MSIE.

If you really need to test Web pages using MSIE, your best option is to 
actually run MSIE.  If you have a separate MS-Windows box, that makes
the task easy.  

If you don't also have a separate MS-Windows box, there are ways to run
MSIE on i386 flavours of Linux:

1.  WINE (http://www.winehq.org/)
2.  Codeweavers CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/)
3.  Virtual machine environments such as VirtualBox, VMware, etc.
    that in turn run MS-Windows inside the virtual session.  

Of those three options, the VM (virtual machine) solutions are the 
most easy and trouble-free but are RAM- and CPU-intensive.
