Hi,
Well I'm new to Linux (just got Corel Linux) and I'm curios if anyone is using Linux for a Digital Audio workstation (DAW) and what they think of it.  How has drive support and software support been?  
Thanks

you mean for proper studio stuff?

myself, i have been trying in vain to find out if the software even exists for such a workstation.

If i find out, i'll post here...

I'm not sure what you mean by proper audio stuff....I mean PRO Audio like PRO Tools, Soundforge, Cube etc.  Has anyone used Linux to record and mix albums...I guess I should have been more clear...sorry

Calum:
no, you didn't need to be more specific, i just meant do you want proper studio stuff or do you just want bog standard file sharing and mp3 playing with id3 tag editing and all that crap.

Now i know you want proper stuff, i have to say i confess i haven't seen that much around, although i would really like to. The major software houses don't develop for linux and won't for a while. Sonic Foundry does not even develop for the mac. They may be fantastic at bringing out stable software et c (unlike CoolEdit, well what do you expect from a developer that used to work for Microsoft?) but they are well missing the Mac and Linux market i think.

Anyway, here's the only list of stuff that i could really find, a lot of it is ongoing development in people's spare time, so much of it is not up to Sound Forge standard yet. Maybe there are some gems in there though, and if you find any, please post what they are here, so i know. At the moment i only have command line functionality in linux due to my SiS630 so called video card so i can't try out a lot of the programs, so i don't know which is best.

if your using red hat 7.2, SiS630 should be supported.
