MacOS X's core Darwin is from the UNIX family, as is Linux. This is why you can easily get UNIX software to run on MacOS X (you need sourcecode though). But it doesn't normally work the other way round! Logic isn't only based one the UNIX core of Mac OSX but on other, Mac-specific software. Plus the sourcecode isn't available. One could create a compatibility layer, such as WINE for Windows, but even if one existed (it doesn't AFAIK), you'd still need a Mac to run Logic, because it won't work on a PC's Intel/AMD/etc. processor. The only way it could work would be to use a Mac emulator for PCs that runs on Linux, but that would be much too slow for a sophisticated program like Logic. You could try and get Logic/Windows to work with WINE though. Or ask Emagic for a native linux port - but since they cancelled the Windows version that seems highly unrealistic. cheers, Christian Henz
