    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

                  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

                                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

                                took 7s to boot on my linux laptop. tried creating a file in /home/default using `touch` and it complained of a read-only file system. it's neat though. the commands in /usr/bin seem to work, or they would if you had access.

                                  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+.

                                  There is no native code running on your CPU...it's running in your browser Javascript sandbox. It's a virtual machine written in JS.

                                      IE 10 on windows 7 ~8 sec... On windows 8 (non metro) ~6 sec. Metro is a crap offering from Microsoft Mickeysoft!
