How much time takes your browser to boot Linux ?
Posted on May 22, 2011 in Pushing The Envelope
This is an interesting question posed by French programmer Fabrice Bellard, who then attempted to answer the question by creating a JavaScript PC (x86) emulator to run Linux. It runs in FireFox 4, Chrome 10, Opera 11.11 and IE9. Oh and he also wrote his own JavaScript terminal, you know, for fun.
