Hi My son is 15 and he uses linux for everything (with my handholding, all my kids use it). He is a very gifted musician. I do have audacity and ecasound with a usable gui, but I think ardour has moch more potential than anything out there. I also have audio professionals that would help me figure it out. I usually do not let my kids touch anything that is easy to use (good brain excersice). I actually have been on ardour-dev for a long time and I think it is much more usable than it was a couple of years ago and I should have my kids try to break it.
