Richard,
Jslinux is more than it seems. It's an entire x86 execution engine in
JavaScript, and JSLinux is just the sample OS that it runs. The x86
emulator was written by Fabrice Bellard, who also wrote qemacs, which is
the emacs written in C and compiled with tcc, which he also wrote. Both
of them are LGPL. It's quite cute and usably fast and you might be
interested in it.
Leigh.

Some of the readers here might already know about jslinux, the PC
emulator written in javascript. 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.
