You should download Ubuntu

Ubuntu Linux has finally released version 7.04, dubbed "Fiesty Fawn", which is by far the easiest Linux distribution I have ever experienced.
While I am no noobie to the computer game, even I want Linux to just work without changing config files.

Plugin Roundup : VST on Linux

To round out my recent interest in plugins, I came across the tutorial hosted at Linux Sound dot Org:

Using VST/VSTi Plugins In Linux

Audio Effects on OS X: AudioUnits

Recently, my Windoze machine bit the bullet, so I reverted back to the old G4 Mac Mini. As I began to use OS X again, I picked up on my old trail to learning Audio Units, Apple's format for VST-like plugins. If you install the CoreAudio SDK in fact, there are a set of valuable AudioUnits plugins that are available for GarageBand, Ableton, etc.

For a basic tutorial from Apple visit their Developer Documentation site:
AudioUnits Tutorial
..and dont' forget their templates:
