Copperlan -installing

Heythere.
Being an absolute noob AND non-programmer,
doing music with euro modular synthesizer:

I look for a way to integrate the computer to my modular rack using an Alyseum MS-812
( http://www.alyseum.com/ms-812.html#.Ut0sYOIwfb0 ) via Copperlan ( http://www.copperlan.org ).
Still I insist no to use a laptop but remain “standalone” with my hardware.

Copperlan is for win7 /XP and OSX - they´re working on changing that, still there´s some light
(in which you come in), telling:

(Copperlan Q&A: Which computing platforms are supported? (MAC, PC, Linux, others)):

Since day one, CopperLan was planned to follow the evolution of the market. It currently runs on all 32/64 bit versions of Windows XP, Vista, Seven and MAC-OS X (Mac Intel).
We are convinced of the relevance of porting CopperLan to Linux and plans are in place to support it in the future. Right now, it is available for Embedded Linux on ARM based processors.
We have applications for Apple’s iOS, and we plan to follow other developments as they unfold.

Could you tell me, is the BeagleBone Black the right choice? Will Copperlan run on it?

ok, so what exactly IS CopperLan and how does one interface to it?
What is the protocol stack implimented? does the beaglebone have the
right interfaces to use it or do you need to follow some custom
electrical spec at the hardware level to interoperate with it. does
the beaglebone have these things? does copperlan run on one or all of
these distros common on beaglebone: angstrom, debian, or ubuntu? how
is copperlan installed? These are ALL questions you need to ask the
makers of copperLan before formulating and asking more specific
questions here.
