Ableton Live is a nice program. And, there are certainly areas of audio applications where Linux does not fare as well as Mac or Windows software today. Then again, there are a lot of applications on Linux that don't have a comparable match on Windows or Mac. So, if you need Ableton Live, yes: use that. In fact, find the application that you need first. And then purchase the OS/HW that you need to run that application (I don't know why people work the other way around.) Like Greg, I too work in the field, perhaps a bit differently. And, we use linux (and windows and mac) everyday. -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com
