1) Are there Linux equivalents to Reason, Sonar,
FruityLoops, Cubase, ProTools, etc.? Really?
no, dunno, no, yes, yes. mostly :)
Ardour is a good DAW app in the style of protools, still has a few rough
edges but definatly usable: http://ardour.sourceforge.net/
Rosegarden and Muse do MIDI type stuff, but I've not used them.
2) Is anyone using dual processors (maybe PIII 500
Mhz) successfully?
Yes, they are well supported, but 500MHz will limit how much stuff you can
do.
I recommend you try RedHat / Fedora + Planet CCRMA
http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ which makes installing
linux audio software easy. But if your familar with another distro you
might want to look at packages based on that.
