There's a CD bootable Linux distro called Dynebolic that is optimized for music. I tried it but found it too complicated for what I wanted. I keep hoping that someone will make a Linux-based program that simply emulates an 8-track recording deck with a minimum of frills, but for now I'll stick with XP/Audacity/Kristal to get my demos done.

Oh, and something called Muse is coming out for Linux that supposedly emulates Logic, but I haven't seen it yet.
