final scratch was developed originally on BeOS (google it) then ported to linux.sqook wrote: While it would definitely be cool if Live was released for linux, I don't think that Ableton could claim the title of "first".... evidently you've forgotten the fact that final scratch used to be available for linux. In fact, it was first written specifically for it, and then ported to other platforms later. I heard that they actually dropped their linux line mostly because of support issues, which doesn't surprise me in the least.
