true but it is getting there...
i dont know if you have heard about this one:

http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~s712059/gsmp/index.html

doesn't compile on Mandrake, although the last release (released yesterday) 
is supposed to.... but it didn't work for me. i run demudi as well, and it 
rocks for audio........ there lies the future: specialised distroes... gamer 
distro, music destro, office destro..... we here an OS you can tweak as much 
as you want . lots of us still think in a windows way: one os that does 
everything (like mandrake). this leads to compromising resources and 
possibilities.
and it doesn't matter if there isn't the equivalent of cubase or logic in 
linux. that's not what linux is about. linux is about people programming an 
app because it doesn't exist, because nobody thought of doing it that way.
that's what i love about linux. i've used cubase and logic for years, and i 
am tired of them, because the way they opporate influences ur creative 
process. i am first and foremost a composer. i want music tools. not software 
that does better what software used to do 15 years ago, if you follow me.
