This has been my thought. When I lost my job a couple of weeks ago I
had to start thinking about a way to earn a living. I was drawn to
start looking at this sort of thing. I think it makes sense although
I'm not sure the market is large enough for someone like me to make a
living doing it.
That said, it seemed like a cool idea to me to boot the machine and
just see Ardour ready to go.

Reliability - Check with Mark about how often
PTLE changes in any
fundamental way... rarely. It's the "just works" philosophy.
Especially because, as mentioned earlier, a typical Pro Tools box is
switched on to run PT and nothing else. Even Windows is quite stable
treated like that. No networking, viruses and other malware to worry
about.
On the other side of the coin, that dedicated-to-one-job type of
application OUGHT to be a good target for Linux - kernel, drivers and
everything totally customisable in ways that Windows can never be. I
suspect that the first successful Linux DAW will be an (almost) embedded
system. You buy a box, plug it in and Ardour (though the user might
never know it as that) appears on the screen...
