I bought Ableton years ago after trying really hard to tame JACK, Ardour, Hydrogen, and a handful of associated utilities unsuccessfully.

It makes me REALLY happy to see this community still going. I know it takes time but the results are usually well worth-it, to get open software ecosystems thriving.

There are some Linux distros, like AVLinux[1], which do all the heavy lifting for you.

Just boot in to them and you've got Ardour, JACK, Hydrogen, and a whole ton of other music apps all ready to use.

That would have been really nice 9 years ago when I was trying to assemble a linux based DAW. I might check it out one of these days.
