[linux-audio-dev] Does NI run Traktor FS on Linux through Wine ?

"In TRAKTOR FS the Final Scratch System has a high-performance DJ 
software that has been specifically optimized for the needs of Final 
Scratch users.
System Requirements:
*Runs on standard PCs, operating on Linux OS (all necessary software 
included)"

"This is work in progress but posted for people who wish to get Native 
Instruments / Standon Magnetics Final Scratch version of Traktor to work 
on their own linux distribution rather than the stripped installation 
that they provide on the CD. Please note this may not work for you at 
all - and I've tried to be as direct as I can with the documentation - 
It's assumed that you've played in a shell before, and have some 
familiarity with linux.. "

I'm not a FS user but from reading the page it seems that they are using 
Wine to run it under
linux from a self bootable CD.

Anyone got more infos about this ?
(I'd interested if Wine is performant enough etc ....)

"Dear Visitor,
these "patches" (try to) add (a sort of) networking ability to a 
GNU/Linux distribution made by Nativ
e Instruments as a OS for their Traktor Final Scratch software. "

For curiousity I downloaded one of the ZIP files.
It unzips to a .tuc and .tup file.
The tup file is a tar.bz2 file so just rename and untar it.
For example in the boot dir you see two kernels:
2.4.22pre1-ni  2.4.22pre1-z

Are these standard kernels, did they use patches or did they write their 
own ?
(where are the sources ? are they objeing the GPL license ?)

Comments ?
