Boot Linux (or OpenBSD Or Oberon Or FreeDOS) In Your Browser (copy.sh)

Long-time Slashdot reader DeQueue writes: Back in 2011 Fabrice Bellard, the initiator of the QEMU emulator, wrote a PC emulator in JavaScript that let you boot Linux in your browser. But he didn't stop there.

On his website he now has images that let you boot Oberon, Arch Linux, FreeDOS, OpenBSD, Solar OS and more recent versions of Linux such as 2.6 or 3.18 (the 3.18 image includes internet access). You can also boot to a CD image, or a floppy image, or a hard drive disk image on your local machine. And, if you don't need yet another operating system on your computer, you can even boot to Bootchess and play chess

    Not a chance in hell that IE would run that.

    Edge minimum, I should think.

    You'd even struggle to download a modern Firefox that worked on '98.

  2. LUDDITES are trying to ruin appy app apps! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    These LUDDITE Linux users are trying to ruin appy app apps by pretending that their LUDDITE operating system can be an appy apperating app! Don't fall for the LUDDITE lies! Only appy apperating apps like Appdows 10 can app apps while apping other apps!

    Vote for Appald Trump, he will make apps appy again by deporting these LUDDITES to LUDDITE Mexico!

    Apps!
