It was only a couple of years that ago that people started taking Linux 
seriously for graphics work, and it is becoming more and more prominent 
especially in the motion picture post-production/visual FX industry... 
open source/free software even, not just ports of commercial 
applications.  I can only hope that people will start taking Linux for 
audio use seriously... especially for the starving musician who can;t 
afford to shell out $500 for Finale or $700 or more for DAW software.
