Take a stress test of your browser... Run a pc emulator
-
Somewhat suspicious I followed the link...on my Windows Phone 8... It took a while for it to complete its boot process (or whatever you might call that). Then when it was finished I was trying to open my on-screen keyboard to start typing, but fatfingered it and hit something that opened up a version history or something. I pressed the back button and it began the boot process all over again... :doh: I did not quite have the patience to go through that again, so I closed the page and came back here. Maybe I will try it out on my PC in the morning. Soren Madsen

It won't work in wp8 it doesn't allow you to run any native elf binary code directly on your CPU (it's completely managed, right??) And the code is x86, not ARM, not even compatible with it. It works in Firefox 4+, IE 9+ and Chrome 12+.

I just tried it on my Nexus7 and it appears to boot linux perfectly happily. I can't do anything with it, because there is no soft keyboard, and I can't find a way to bring one up, but it even appears to work on that! :omg:

AAMOF, Android is Linux!
No, it's because the link takes you to a linux boot in javascript - if you run in on my Win7 PC in IE, Chrome or FF, you get an identical linux boot. Just they work, because I have a keyboard...:laugh:

Well, it does something, spitting out lines and lines of information as it is loading until it gets to

Ah!... The dev designed it for computers with keyboards, not for mobiles! And the quy was the one who started the infamous FFMpeg... I don't need an description for it. Do I ?

But there some real emulation takes place... not a joke, you can get the source code of binary images, squashfs ramdisk files etc.. assemple them in one piece and boot them in an el-torito compatible pc

No, that's what I was saying: my PC does not contain any Linux images, but the link boots a Linux VM within the browser. It does the same thing under Android - it is completely irrelevant that Android is a (heavily modified) Linux fork. It's pretty impressive stuff. Now, if it booted PrimeOs, or RSX-11M I'd be amazed! :laugh: (And very nostalgic :-O )

I could type in some *nix commands, but nothing that required a space. For some reason, the spacebar doesn't do anything. So even navigating to the "dos" directory was impossible. Marc

Interesting. On my mac - Chrome = 6.205 seconds Safari = 3.493 seconds Firefox = 4.272 seconds Who'd have thunk it?

That's slow! On my Nexus it boots in 44.087s (which is a whole load faster than my desktop boots in the morning). On my desktop, it boots in 6.105s I'm guessing that if I had a bluetooth keyboard, I could use it as a linux box - if I could remember anything about unix other than: 1) Basic commands to change directory, list files, and so forth. 2) I hate "vi" (but I can still remember how to get out of it, which is worrying since it's been twenty five years since I last used an unix command line)

I just tried it using UC Browser (the only other browser I have on my phone) and it was also able to get it started, but it took 144s. It seems to take a long time to get through the following steps: Starting Linux (initial load) Memory configuration/identification (scrolls out of view, so not really sure) Checking if CPU honors the WP bit Freeing unused kernel memory Soren Madsen

Tried it on the iPad for a laugh - and it worked! :omg: (Hint: to get the onscreen keyboard you have to tap in the text edit box to the right of the virtual PC screen).
