Really Nice,Great,Superb tool…………..
Awesome thank you very much for your kindness!
Thank you for the nice emulator. Very useful. Great initiative.
Excellent tool! Great job and thanks a lot!
Nice tool!
But I don’t know how to get signs like | is. Here of course I’m using ALTGR + W,
but in Linux emulator this don’t work.
I’ve found something. Left ALT + 124. It works.
Very useful and you don’t need any registration!
But you can’t get help like “man ls” and so on.
I’ve found some other emulation for Linux, where this works, but I had to register myself and it was working everything for a few hours, but the next day their web side wasn’t exist any more ore it was under construction, who would know.
I don’t know why I can read a file, if I’ve gave myself no permissions: “chmod 000 file”.
I still can see it’s content with command “cat file”, but I think, I mustn’t read it.
Yesterday or two days before I couldn’t execute a file, although I’ve gave myself all permissions.
I’ve got the answer “Permission denided”. Today I’ve made everything the same and it works. Who would know why.
I don’t know if here you can get answers on your questions, if anyone and how many people read this comments or here you can just leave comments not questions.
I feel like I’m talking just with myself. OK, it’s nothing terrible.
I’ve found help for single commands. “Man” here it doesn’t work but “command –h” or “command –help” it does. Great!
^^ Thanks for your inputs. I’m sure it’ll help other readers. 🙂

Dear VG,
This PC emulator is not working in any Web Browser as mentioned above.
Nice tool but I was wondering about using some simple files to demonstrate certain commands. How could i create and upload them?
Thanks for this awesome website, finally i can practice with linux.
Why doesn’t ipconfig work on your emulator.
Really Good helpful simulator
