Get it at http://lmms.sourceforge.net/ There's even a Windows version. :-) LMMS is very similar to FL Studio, and though it's current version (0.3.2) still in beta-state, it already has loads of nice features, like VSTi and SF2 plugin support.

This is a great list, especially because I want to invest in better hardware before I start tying up my funds in software.
