You will notice the link to download eCOS on that page in fact;)

Many people do confuse eCOS and Linux, as some of eCOS's design decisions
were based off Linux early on IIRC, but they are two definitly two different
OSes.

Agreed on the control surface being important(But not the only important
part).  Right now most larger format consoles are moving if not already
moved to a split setup.  The cheaper ones(M7CL and LS9, StudioLive, etc.)
are still all in ones.  But even this market is being moved on by the likes
of Roland and A&H t-Series that are both designed with a seperate rack and
digital snake.
