Slated:
I have heard from a reliable source, inside Digidesign, that they actually have Protools running on Linux, and that the port from OSX isn't that hard, but are under contract obligation to Microsoft to not release a Linux port. Otherwise Microsoft can revoke their access to the Windows SDK.
Yes, Microsoft has really changed, hasn't it? It sure "loves" Open Source (see links below for latest rebuttals to such indefensible claims).
