I dual boot Ubuntu (linux) and Vista but I don't use Ubuntu for music.
Using Ubuntu for day to day computer "stuff" lets me keep all of those programs off of the Vista side DAW. Sonar and Vista run a lot smoother.
I have read about some success with Reaper on Linux but the weak link is the lack of support for audio interfaces.

I have to say that my experience with using Linux for audio has been fantastic so far. I switched over to Linux in 2005 as I had been very frustrated with Windows for some time. I had no intention at the time that that computer would eventually become a DAW. I did do a fair amount of research into hardware for Linux compatibility in general and not into Linux Audio.
I currently use Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. It is very stable, easy to set up and maintain.
My reasoning behind sticking with Linux for a DAW that I have setup was part monetary and part ideological. I strongly support the Open Source and Free Software movements. (Free as in Speech, not free as in beer). Also, I was able to use my exisitng machine and with very little cost was able to get up and running. I purchased the UA-25EX after doing a fair amount of research into compatibility.
There was zero install required. I powered down my machine, plugged the UA-25 in and it was recognized and fully functional immediately.
For software there is a wide array of Audio software available for free (as in beer). I am currently using Jack, Ardour, Rackarack, ZynAddSubFX. These were all free and very stable and robust.
Yes, for some it may be a paradigm shift to be using the OS as the DAW and not a stand-alone software but for me it allows greater flexibility.

I have read about some success with Reaper on Linux but the weak link is the lack of support for audio interfaces. In principle all you need is this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/ Then any soundcard that's supported by linux will be accessible. I didn't get as far as putting this driver in but I can confirm (because I did it this weekend) that Reaper installs and loads very happily on Ubunutu (10.10). Child

Linux is a technically advanced: Linux is so damn hard to learn, install, use and configure. Especially configure.
Linux is highly configurable: Nothing works right away. To make your Linux system to work, you need ten hours to configure every little piece of your system before you can start using it.

Linux is oldest and open source operating system. Linux was little bit difficult to understand by every one so for that they have to do practise on it. It provide very good security to user accounts and protect the computer from virus.

Linux is simply an operating system. Is the software on a computer that allows applications and the computer operator to access computer devices to perform the desired functions. The operating system (OS) relays instructions from an application, for example, the computer processor. The processor executes the task and then sends the results to the application via the operating system.

Linux is artlessly an operating system. Is the software on a computer that allows applications and the computer abettor to admission computer accessories to accomplish the adapted functions. The operating arrangement (OS) relays instructions from an application, for example, the computer processor. The processor executes the assignment and again sends the after-effects to the appliance via the operating system.

ROFL @ all the info Linux posts. I do believe at least 90% of the folks using this forum are fam with Linux. I thought the question was... would it run & work with X1. Perhaps I was unix'd into thinking that o_O?
My Rig: Sonar X1 Studio - Vista 32 on AMD Quad Core @ 3ghz w/4 gig ram - Lexicon Lambda - Assorted Nuts, Bolts & Plugins - More Talent on order as well.

All of kendricknds' posts are for spam purposes (and obviously translated - poorly - from another language). I just reported him to see if the mods can remove his drivel.
