i think that any of the BSD's (specifially free or open) _can_ be used as desktop OS's over linux for the x86 arch. The only thing linux based os's have over bsd's is hardware support and corporate support.
I see the BSD's as more power users who do development and need a hardcore solid OS on industry standard good hardware, as opposed to crappy cheap PC hardware that normal users get.
make world is pretty kool:)
if you are looking for pretty crap on yer desktop and lots of stupid applications that normal browsing and chatting users want then go with linux. if u run x just so u can see lots of xterms and are doing hardcore work. spend the time with a BSD. -----

I use cakewalk pro audio in my studio and what i'll do is instead of running real time FX. i'll test them out then write them to disk. then u don't have to worry about yer CPU being used up.
maybe if it's just midi it's different but it's worth looking into if u have hard disk space but are running out of clock cycles -----
