    Well, it does something, spitting out lines and lines of information as it is loading until it gets to Booted in 142.837 s Welcome to JS/Linux /var/root # But then it just sits there, mocking me. :^) Like OG I can't do anything because there is no soft keyboard support. Soren Madsen

      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:

        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

                  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

                                      Oh! I don't know what the heck is Vi... so if it exists or not... I don't care. :laugh: I was born in the GUI age... much much younger that you. And EDLIN, (known becoz of DOS classes in school... which still continue to use Win 98, though I upgraded some to win xp before I left) the bastard son of EDIT... that even doesn't show what I typed... :wtf: When someone says to use I feel like WTF!!
