I recently contacted one of the founders of eigenlabs, who is actually pro linux in some ways. For instance, from his personal website, he has a number of bounties for linux related software development that seem very generous.

Nonetheless, he stated his reasons for not being more proactive with linux as a pro audio platform. I won't reproduce them here as i think the matter was made in the spirit of private correspondence. I would encourage anyone to email the guy, however, as I have the feeling he would happily engage in dialog about the issue.

His site is here: http://johnhenrylambert.com/index.html
