Unless there is a Linux version of your Windows application, it will only run on Linux courtesy of an application called Wine. Since you are into music, I think you should know that there are similar applications on Linux, and like virtually all Linux applications, they are all free. Mixcraft 5 and Guitar Pro set you back about $140.00. Similar applications on Linux are free. The only thing it will cost you is the little time it will take to learn how to use them. Since you have a Windows 7 desktop computer, you may download a Linux distribution (distro), install it side by side with Windows, and play with some of the applications that you might need to replace Mixcraft 5 and Guitar Pro and other Windows applications that you currently use. Since you are downloading a live CD distro like Mint, you could test it without installing it on your computer. Also there are Linux distros specifically for audio and video professional and amateurs. You can download these for free also. See <a href="http://www.linux-sound.org/distro.html" rel="nofollow">Linux Sound</a> for a list of resources to start with. Glad you are about to try Linux.

(or should i say, cant still be free from microsoft. hehehe). i think i'm just afraid that i may not perform my task as well as i did in windows. but i really want to use linux mint because i'm amazed with it. i think some orientation and advices from a pro linux user might help. thanks and God bless wow, i’m encourage with the comments. haha. i haven’t actually tried linux mint 8 but i’m planning to and actually downloading now. i’m currently using mac os x snow leopard and windows vista at my macbook and windows 7 at my desktop. i am wondering if windows application runs with linux? i mean, i am using a lot of windows application (like mixcraft 5, guitar pro, etc.) and cant just abandon them because i cant find any software compatible with mac that’s why i cant leave windows easily.

The fact that you can rely on Ubuntu for support I hope they will incorporate DansGuardian like the Christian Ubuntu has for there domain/family filter. They also need to incorporate RAID into the installer or provide an alternative installer like Ubuntu Steve linux mint is excellent, I use it as an I.T professional not as a beginner.
