Sonar GNU/Linux merges with Vinux

[Eric Oyen]

hmmm. good idea there. :)

btw, I wouldn't mind compiling a version of Linux to operate on my Braille Sense U2 (which currently uses windows CE 6). Unfortunately, getting hardware specs out of HIMS International just  isn't possible right now. It's like they are treating the device as some ultra secret patented device (A black box). I'd take mine apart if I didn't need it for some things.
