Have you noticed the update?

  - There is clipboard support (bi-directional)
  - It runs on Chromium 13
  - It runs on iPad!! 
    (If it does not take your input, set the focus to the
     clipboard edit box)

And as a side-note, Tom has ported JSLinux to node.js

It still doesn't make coffee, but I expect it won't be long now. My mind is still blown.

I'm wondering when he releases the clipboard source code. On the kernel side it's a custom character device. Currently he is violating the GPL. :-(

In addition to running on iPad, it also runs on Safari (5.0.5, snow leopard) now.

This running on the iPad is the win of the hacking, curiosity and intelligence over the closeness. As without any good reason (IMHO) such a project would never be approved as an app by Apple.

It still doesn't work on my Chrome v13.0.767.1 dev on OSX. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see the project is moving fast forward.

He released the linux starter (BIOS) though. There is still hope. BTW. the starter contains assembler code. It is amazing to see this running in the browser.
