[lively-kernel] Fwd: Linux in JavaScript PC emulator in a web browser (runs without installation)

[Dan Ingalls]

Folks -

Just got this pointer from Antero.  Reminds me of when the first 
Apple II emulator (including the graphics) showed up in Squeak.

This is the wonderful thing about high-performance VMs for decent 
languages (we'll allow JS here ;-) -- it means that one can engage in 
the delights of low-level hackery, while producing an elegant or at 
least understandable and accessible artifact [I can't vouch for this 
particular one].

Tee hee
