Primarily, I'm a C/C++ programmer on Unix machines... But I'd kill for browser based shell access to a linux box...
So, the question is: How hard would it be, and what approaches would be the best for building real shell level access into a web page? Flash? Javascript?
I know this is really all opinion, but I'm curious if people think it might be possible?
