My advice if you are remotely serious about audio is to keep a XP install to run FL but definately tinker with the linux stuff that is available. When i was doing a lot of audio work on linux my setup was: ardour (great multi track audio editor), seq24(sequencer), specimen(sampler) and the zynaddsubfx soft synth.
The direction linux is going for audio stuff though is using dedicated apps for each component of your studio and tying them together with a professional audio server called jack. They have a native linux client and it appears to be the best all in one type solution available right now. I know because ive done it and actually managed to sell some music i did in linux :) That being said it -IS- possible to create professional quality work entirely in linux if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Ive been following linux audio production software pretty closely for the past few years and hate to say it but i dont see the situation improving much in the short term. There is nothing even remotely close to what fruity loops studio is capable of on linux. Instead, you can do it in FLV, VST, or MIDI.Simply put linux audio software is at about the same point windows audio software was at 10-11 years ago. Linux MultiMedia Studio is a very comprehensive music creation tool whose only hitch, if you had to name one, is that it doesn't let you export your projects in MP3 format. Again, both by hand as well as using the appropriate tools. You can load in dozens of instruments and add hundreds of sounds from the mixing deck. In addition to this, Linux MultiMedia Studio includes a 64 channel FX mixer that supports tons of different effects. Although obviously you can also import any OGG or WAV file and work with it in any of the windows on the interface. These keyboards can be controlled both by hand as well as by a specialized MIDI keyboard. The program includes different keyboards for sounds and effects that you can play around with when creating music. The advantage of this is that, depending on what you're trying to make (a beat, bass, or simple melody.), you can have more or less windows open. The first thing about Linux MultiMedia Studio that calls your attention is the quantity of windows of all the necessary music creation tools that can be open simultaneously. Linux MultiMedia Studio (LMMS) is a music creation tool similar to FL Studio (with which it's compatible) that lets you produce music from scratch using an intuitive yet very comprehensive interface that's packed with features and also supports MIDI keyboards and other specialized peripherals.
