Although I tend to use $audio{expensive} these days
on Windows XP (in part due to my main Linux workstation not
having an audio card any more) I have fond memories of Audicity.
Originally it was fairly basic, but I am told it is quite powerful
to use now.

If you want to go for a more DAW framework I'd suggest Beast or 
Ardour. Both are meant to be quite good. Although admittedly I haven't
played with either recently.

However, am glad its working well for you so far.
