Who gave you that idea? 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.
