Subject: [linux-audio-user] New to the list & Linux

Hello list members!

I'm new to this list and relatively new to Linux.
  I discovered the power of Linux about 2 years
ago and began switching my school district over to
it (still migrating). I use only Linux for my
servers (web/email/proxy/file/backup/etc.). I've
setup two classroom labs using Linux as the
desktop. I'd like to look at using Linux in the
music lab (not yet created). So I found this
mailing list.

I'm a keyboardist and MIDI user (since Cakewalk
first came out). I want to create a DAW (for my
home use as well as for school). I need it to do
MIDI and samples and record audio. I'm trying to
get a Delta 66 with Omni breakout box for the
soundcard, and maybe a Soundblaster Live (w EMU10K
chip) for the soundfonts.

My questions to the list...

1) Are there Linux equivalents to Reason, Sonar,
FruityLoops, Cubase, ProTools, etc.? Really?

2) Is anyone using dual processors (maybe PIII 500
Mhz) successfully?
