When I have a couple of hundred to spend, I'm surely going to treat myself and
put together a Linux-compatible DAW. All Macs are purpose built, many Windows
boxes are specifically designed and need to be considering the paucity of
drivers that come with XP. Although reconfiguring old Windows Office boxes to
run Debian always feels like some kind of victory, I'm always aware how much
these machines weren't designed to do what I'm trying to do with them. This
becomes more and more apparent as soon as you start trying to make music.
Indeed: apart from the issues with hardware compatibility and
performance, a PC based DAW needs to be acoustically quiet - a visit to
http://www.quietpc.com is probably in order while you're compiling your
shopping list.
