It's not really music-specialized, but it is a good go-to. Usually is functional out of the box, and comes with lots of options. You ever use Mandrake?

Getting a linux install to work is not the big obstacle though. I actually had Gentoo working pretty well to do almost anything. Just not audio. That's why I'm messing with these flavors that are specifically designed for audio. Though man... I've been missing Gentoo lately. It's really cool. I haven’t tried Mandrake.

are there good open source recording/mixing/mastering titles for linux? have you been using them all this time or just recently?

And things are just getting started. I haven't actually produced anything with Linux yet, but I'm starting to toy with Rosegarden (midi sequencer that can record also), Ardour (multitrack recorder), and Hydrogen (drum machine). Yeah, gentoo take a long time to install. And then installing a window manager takes even longer. But the nice thing is that since you do every step of the installation by hand, if you mess something up, it's easier to just find where you screwed up and start from there.
