I'm not a Mandrake user. I'm happy with our package repository,
though I think that Mandrake does a wonderful job!

Some are already mentioned, so the others will be:

KGuitar (http://kguitar.sourceforge.net
Notedit (http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html)
Denemo (http://denemo.sourceforge.net/)
Ecamegapedal (http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecamegapedal/)
athenaCL (http://www.flexatone.com/athena.html)
zynaddsubfx (http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net)

Audacity
Sweep
Rosegarden-4
amSynth

Besides, I would notice that a kernel capability to run jack enabled
software not as root should be hopefully included as well.

if you can.

Let Pixel be with you ;)
