Fabrice Bellard has posted an x86
emulator written entirely in JavaScript which enables one to boot a
Linux system inside a web browser. There are some technical details
available for those who want to know how it works. "The CPU is close
to a 486 compatible x86 without FPU. The lack of FPU is not a problem when
running Linux as Operating System because it contains a FPU emulator. In
order to be able to run Linux, a complete MMU is implemented.
