While I've played around with linux on and off since '97, and lurked
on this list for three years before setting up a linux audio
workstation, I must admit - use as a live effects processor and synth
is what's hooked me.

The jack-rack/qsynth/linuxsampler/freewheeling combination is pretty
much everything I ever wanted out of a live rack - total cost of a
refurb dell laptop, a usb audio interface, and one of those really big
behringer footpedals came to about $1100: far, far less than the total
cost of the huge bunch of pedals and rackmounted units I'd need to
duplicate functionality - indeed, I'm unaware of any hardware units or
commercial software that can do what freewheeling can.
