This is a small point, but regarding Ableton Live not having an analog on Linux: anyone who wants to do pro audio editing on Linux needs to try Ardour. It's a fantastic project that represents the best of the open-source tradition, and it is in constant and active development. Right now it's better than it's ever been. It's not always simple to get it running on Ubuntu, but it is well worth it; while Ableton Live might have some performance perks that few other DAWs have, in terms of strict potential for pro audio engineering Ardour matches it on every point.
Very true, Ardour is fantasic for a ProTools-like application. For me, Ableton Live has a great workflow for demoing songs quickly. Just to not act like I'm better than what I wrote on my blog - I'm also set in my ways and unable to adapt / unwilling to make it work ;)
