【好物介紹】把瀏覽器當虛擬平台？

每次要跑虛擬機時，都要有一個Hypervisor，不管是原生或寄居架構，但不管是哪一種架構，總要有一個硬體平台吧？總要分配CPU、記憶體或磁碟空間吧？下面這個Linux，卻是真正把VM的層次拉高到最上層：瀏覽器。這是一個用Javascript重寫的Linux核心，而Javascript的執行平台正是瀏覽器！曾經有人懷疑這只是一個模擬Linux的介面而已，但現在已證實是真正的Linux核心了。


Fabrice Bellard是誰應該不用介紹了，是ffmpeg、QEMU的原創人，高中時就開發出LZEXE這個壓縮軟體，不但是有名的電腦工程師，也是有名的數學家，這邊可以看到Fabrice Bellard的維基介紹。

這個用Javascript寫出來的Linux不但可以執行，更可以用來學習Linux的指令，如vi等。大家就到

到這邊來玩玩吧！
