It's one of the only devices that is running all OSS software and 
targetted at the commercial DJ market.

Rons been working on it with the paid assistance of several LAD's over 
the past few years. I'm surprised you haven't picked up on this by now. 
It's an award winning device and is making a huge impact in the 
commercial setting.

It runs a customised version of 64studio called Transmission.
