I just found this. Information is quite limited.

    Holy shit, that’s really cool. Ran like trash, but considering how it’s running it’s bloddy amazing!

    For me the systems I tested ran pretty slow, which I expected. Any ideas on how it works? Its FAQ simply states that they provide VMs of most operating systems, but how are they accessed? I did not expect seeing an actual GUI, only a CLI :D. Very cool.

      Based on the limited information given it appears to be a Debian server that creates VMs with QEMU and VNC servers for the VM with a browser VNC client called noVNC.

        That’s very informative, thanks!

        For others curious:

        In other words, within your browser, it enables a new connection to a hosted virtual machine (VM) that emulates a physical computer’s processor. This process enables the virtual machine to run a variety of guest operating systems using your Web browser as the display monitor.

        The VM display is provided by a direct virtual network computing (VNC) connection. VNC is a graphical desktop-sharing system using the remote frame buffer protocol (RFB) to allow remote control of another computer. Multiple users may connect to the VNC server at the same time.

        A button sits in the center of the left window edge of the running distro. Click it to slide out a menu with several options for controlling the VNC display window.
