I'm running Linux/98 dual-boot. With Linux I have access to Lynx,
Links, Dillo, Netscape Navigator 4.76, Mozilla 1 RC3, Konqueror, and
Opera 5 for Linux[0]. With Windows 98 I have access to Internet
Explorer 6, Mozilla 0.9.9, Lynx for Windows, Opera 5 for Windows, and
Netscape Navigator 4.74.
I also have a networked NT4 machine running IE2, which I occasionally
use just out of sheer curiosity.
At school, I have access to machines running Win2k and IE6, Win98 and
IE5.01, Win3.11 and Netscape Navigator 2, and Solaris and Netscape
Navigator 4.76.
This, obviously, gets me a wide variety of testing done rather easily.
Of course, when dealing with Macs, I sort of... well... continue on as
normal, then wait to see if any Mac users complain[1]. :o)
[0] I can also run Perl, PHP, and Python scripts, redirect the output to
a file, then open that file in a browser - so, I don't need an
external server.
