here is what have been doing, as i am building a recording studio for techno industrial to flamenco guitar music. i have found that in truth almost all
computer based audio recording software is REALLY tricky. take for exmple protools DIGI 001. the work horse of the audio industry. unless you have the right scsi drive and the whole computer hardware tuned to the specks that is required buy the package you can forget useing it. i found that even though digi 001 works with some systems it wont work with all. and sometimes a computer based recording system can be a even more hindering system than a help. in other word in most cases you spend more time with the system crashing or being down than actualy recording.
what i would do, is if you are REALLY serious about getting into digital recording, go and buy something like a triton studio keyboard. they are about $2700 but on www.americanmusical.com you can do a payment plan $500 a month. this key board will also do mulittrack recording with a guitar and microphone. they even come with a builtin cd burner. these synths are one of the best on the market right now, that or a motif keyboard (by yamaha i think)
as for linux and audio, unfortanaly linux with audio is still in the stone age. i am seriously hoping that with in the next year we will see more programs ported over from commercial packages. i have spent alot of time researching this. remember that amount of money you put into equipment = the performace you will get back out of your music. if you want to check out more on the triton goto www.korg.com they have mp3 files of sample songs from the keyboard. the triton studio is alos VERY highly upgradeable.
