An OS in the browser

Somebody in the internal lists pointed out to this – A whole Unix-like OS that runs in your browser.

That is just incredibly crazy.

Try vi. It works.

    Your link to this incredible Unix Os in a browser didn’t work for me.

  2. Joseph Borkowski Says:

    That is because this OS was Slashdotted, as evidenced here: http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/05/06/16/1212215.shtml?tid=130&tid=108

    Swaroop, i think the link is broken.It would be nice if you could give us the correct link.

  5. Swaroop Says:

    As Joseph mentions, the site might be inaccessible because of the [slashdot effect](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect).

    On the other hand, it is still working here but that’s probably because of Firefox’s cache :)

    It worked for me! Wow! I am still learning the basics, this will give me a great place to learn Vi.
