Run Linux In Web Browser Using JavaScript
Ever wanted to try out UNIX commands without actually installing the Linux operating system? Well, say thanks to the Javascript Guru Fabrice Bellard who's solved the problem for you. Now you can emulate the entire Linux based PC right in your browser without needing to install the operating system. The solution is perfect for those who are curious to learn UNIX commands and have a better understanding of how the command line interface works but do not have direct access to a Linux system.

Fabrice claims that he created the PC emulator just for fun. He wanted to try his hand at something 'a little more challenging'. He says that the most modern versions of Javascript are fast enough and capable of doing complicated tasks. His emulator can be used to benchmark Javascript engines or use it for client side processing using x86 library. A more advanced version of emulator can be used to run the DOS based PC software and play old DOS games.
