There's a bootable arch system in the demos. I haven't yet figured out how to boot an installed system as I haven't understood the way the disks/FS are handled, but the installer works (slowly). See [1] for my report / request for more details.

Simulating any other architecture may fit, as my purpose, so far would be to try and run a Debian system inside the browser... and the underlying CPU / simulator wouldn't matter much. Jor1k is simulating an OpenRISC, but I don't mind trying with x86 ala http://bellard.org/jslinux/. > PS: some more port ideas: > > https://wiki.debian.org/Ideas/Ports Hmmm that lacks details if no one knows all the fancy names in advance... but I might as well check and complement the page ;) Thanks a lot.

There was a Debian port to OpenRISC, but it is dead due to the code not being able to be merged into GCC upstream due to copyright issues. PS: some more port ideas: https://wiki.debian.org/Ideas/Ports -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

Running Debian in the Web browser (JS VM)?
Hi. Is anyone working on a "port" of Debian for running in the browser, over the JS VM, like what jor1k [0] does ? I'm not sure where to check, so any hints welcome. I'm not exactly sure our toolchains would allow to perform that easily enough...
