multi track recording?
 

hey, i was curoius to konw if there are any good programs for multitrack recording in linux?

try k3b, the best I've ever had.

many soundcards have issues with full duplex performance..

I haven't been able to get around it with my Via based AC'97 card. (Yes, I know it's old).

It's one of the drawbacks I can see,
meaning you can't record and play at the sametime.

On the other hand, if anyone knows how to get around this, lemmeknow :)

Audacity and Ardour both look like they'll work great. I used Audacity for a while, with pretty good results running two soundcards -- one for playing, one for recording.
