Amazing, this guy is impressive.

BTW. It would be really nice to include an SSH client to JSLinux.

I agree with you, however.. you'll notice that it currently only has a loopback device (try "ifconfig"). It would help if there were network adapters, first :).

In Opera 11.11, I seem to get a max of 8 instances going, but not more. Is there a technical limitation, or a deliberate restriction? Memory seems to be OK, the browser is just past a Gig. Although this is a 32-bit OS, I don't see a memory issue.

Virtual memory usage might be at 2 gigs?

Works great on Chrome 11.0.696.68 running on OS X 10.6.7. I'll be keeping an eye on this project. Great work.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting how many different interpretations the same phrase have in different languages. In Hebrew, "turning green" means being jealous.

Sorry, I mistakenly deleted my comment. Here it is. "... Linux on the iPad ? This is becoming really interesting. I bet Steve Jobs is turning green now... (French expression meaning it makes him sick, not vegetarian... !). Edit: just tried it on my iPad and it doesn't work. ..." Edit2: retried it once more and now it is booting ! Sad that network is not reachable (ping 8.8.8.8 failed).

In American English "turning green" means to become envious
