have the expectation that it will run the same or better than in Windows or MacOSX. WineASIO link; http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/ you will also need to get the ASIO SDK from steinberg to compile wineASIO (i don't have a link off hand, google it). and this guide although geared towards setting up Reaper in wine, has a section on compiling and installing WineASIO. this site is somewhat dated, but the compilation is pretty much the same http://www.davehayes.org/2007/04/27/howto-reaper-on-ubuntu-linux-with-wineasio info on Jack-audio-connection-kit (although you should be able to install jack with your disto's package manager) http://www.jackaudio.org going back to my point on 'your milage will vary', have a look at wine's Application DataBase on Ableton; http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bIsQueue=3Dfalse&bIsRejected=3Dfalse&sClass=3Dvendor&iId=3D2619&sAction=3Dview&sTitle=3DView+Developer as you can see, you may or may not get it to run very well. cheerz
