Does anyone here use a linux O/S reather then Windows for producing beats ? linux is a bitch to set-up, but once its up and running, virus,bug's,freeze's and error message's are a thing of the past, i know servers use it and microsoft programmers, programed Windows with it (still do infact) , has anyone attemped the switch ?

Well i use a little linux at work and even though it does crash less often, is more secure , etc etc , ùthe main problem becomes software and drivers. I've wanted to make the swith for awhile mainly cause i wanna a be legit. i want to pay for all my software and considering music programs are not usually cheap, i dont feel lke paying an arm and a leg for OS.
Linspire linux : FREE
WinXP Pro: 250$
OpenOffice: free
MS Office: 400$
but most of the software i use arent linux compatible.
WHat do you use? i've seen Audacity ( audio editors) that seems fairly decent. But i havent found anything else really.
