I would be surprised if Logic didn't use
Apple's proprietary display
stuff like Carbon and Cocoa (and even for audio? Isn't CoreAudio
proprietary?), which is not available for Linux or even x86. In other
words I think the answer is "no chance in hell".
Yeah, probably not.
I get the impression that Apple is working with the GNU folk on the above
system though
{see the top link here: http://www.gnu-darwin.org/index.php?page=community }
It would be in their best interests to open up development to the rest of the
world. You never know what may happen in the future.
I may build a machine to run this system... It looks like it may have a lot of
potential. It's a sort of "best of all possible technologies" thing.
However, there's lot's of audio stuff
available for Linux, offering lots
of control and flexibility. See http://linux-sound.org/
Maybe someone here can recommend a Live CD that contains some up-to-date
audio apps, or would work with AGNULA or something ...
The easiest way is just to set up apt and point it at planet CCRMA.
