While there's not currently a specific application designed to function like Ableton Live, there are many rock solid Linux-based options worth your consideration. For example, using an application like PD, it's possible to design looping sample triggers with custom interfaces - and it's quite easy to do. Have a look at http://linux-sound.org/ to get a taste of the audio possibilities open to performance minded Linux users. And for the record. I have been relying on Linux in professional (read: this is how I make a living) live audio situations for several years. Most of these situations involve clients running multi-million dollar organizations. If Linux failed me under these circumstances, I wouldn't be writing to you on this list...
