Audacity
jack-rack
seq24

I do have a DVD drive i can boot from. I dislike downloading DVD iso's though,
because they are so big :). Two persons i know don't have a DVD drive (one of
them doesn't have _any_ bootable media besides his hard drive though. Man
that was a hassle getting the OS on there)
