An update:
I had problems with loading VSTs through SAVIHost, which I had recommended
earlier, but with FSTHost my professional VST instruments (Garritan
Personal Orchestra, some from IK Multimedia, and Arturia Mini V) all load
and play perfectly so far.
So, should anyone have problems with loading VSTs (I had no luck with
Festige) try FSTHost.

I have the great Garritan Personal Orchestra

successfully (on 64-bit Arch) – I haven’t touched
it for 1.5 years, and
it
doesn’t load at the moment, but I’m also on a
terribly out-of-date Arch
version at the moment. It definitely worked beautifully back then.
It’s not native to Linux, but with the help of SAVIHost
(
http://www.hermannseib.com/savihost.htm) through Wine it will load
perfectly. Presets can be saved. I think it only allows a minimum of 256
frames per period, though.
Miroslav Philharmonik from IK Multimedia
(
http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/philharmonik/) works in the same
way,
but I like GPO a lot more.
