Nice, but how can i run this?
Never mind, i found it.
One for the beards…..
This is an interesting find, nice job :)
How cool is it to run Linux in your web browser, very cool!
Hehe, bit useless for the “real life”, but interesting :) What came into my mind: it can be used to test the performance of JS of different browsers, just run some benchmark within the “JS/Linux”, if the physical machine (which runs the browser) is the same, it’s a more “real life” comparsion of JS performance than JS benchmarks which are made to give good points for a selected browser for example :)
Do you know if this ‘boots’ on an iPad?
I haven’t tested it on an iPad but if the javascript engine in the version of Safari it ships is recent enough then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.
