Do you mean free as in free beer or free speech? Renoise is free as in
beer, apart from not having export of seperate channels in the free version.

Renoise is the best sample-based tracker on the planet, regardless of
platform. On the other hand there's Aldrin, which is modular and
softsynth based. It's also good, some might say better than Renoise, but
they're a bit hard to compare since the approaches are quite different.

Play around with them both and see what you like. For me I use both, but
lately I've been mostly playing with Aldrin, since then I don't need to
worry about samples that much.

Of course you can. They're good, but limited in number and mainly
focused on synthetic sound. I do not think they're meant to be used as a
complete sample library. For more free sounds/samples you should check
freesound.org. You can use linuxsampler with renoise through midi.
Renoise supports jack fully (apart from transport), so you can
interconnect it with any jack app.

Good luck with your tracking!
