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.

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. --=20 Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
