It'd be interesting to collect stats on all the commands people try to run, and to implement all the ones Linux users are likely to have wired into muscle memory.

I bet there would be A LOT of 'rm -rf /'-ing going on. I'll admit it was about the second thing I tried.

Interesting, but Tab completion seems broken:

    cd Foosball/
    cat r

Selecting text (on Firefox) doesn't seem to work either.

So is this just JS or an actual terminal is behind? Looks like just JS... I would love to see someone actually expose a shell.

So... I can just view source and see all the available data. That is a lot faster then typing in commands.

problem with the site is that since it only implements a subset of what one would expect from a shell you're constantly inputing things that do not work.

Cool site that doesn't run like a dog, I'm impressed! I actually spent a few minutes fiddling around trying to see what I could do on the terminal, can't say that for many other sites.

If I could offer one little bit of feedback; some labels on the menu at the top would be kind of handy, a few icons are easy to recognize but some aren't (at least for me).
