It allows you to run linux in your browser. When you say "run Linux", I presume you really mean running GNU/Linux. Linux by itself is not usable for a human user (see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html). Please call it GNU/Linux to be fair to us. Aside from that, a more substantial question is, is it a good idea to run GNU/Linux in a browser this way? The crucial question is whether you can run _your own copy_ of it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
