Ok, so I have started doing development, and my first project was to get Ableton running on linux, as its my main OS, and well, Ill die without it. haha.
So, if you are are running Linux (any flavour; Ubuntu, Kubuntu, OpenSuSE, Arch, Debian, etc.), you can search your repositories, and download WINE and PlayOnLinux.
If you cant find PlayOnLinux in your repositories, you can download it from http://www.playonlinux.com, and you can get wine from http://www.winehq.com.
WINE, for those of you that do not know, is a translation layer for windows programs, to let them run native on linux.
I did the hard stuff, and wrote a script, that installs Ableton for you (yes, you do need to own a copy of Ableton Live , and also installs pre-requisites like Visual C++ RT 2008, as well as a few others, and builds it out in wine.
******************************UPDATE******************************************
This script is now complete, fully functional, and a part of the PlayOnLinux Official Repository. Its been tested, accepted, and signed.
As such, the instructions here have been changed. Please read thoroughly.

**EDIT: This should work on all versions of linux, 32 and 64 bit. Make sure you have p7zip-full (or equivalent), p7zip-rar (or equiv), winbind, and if you are running 64 bit, then make sure you have installed any multiarch- or ia32-libs- type packages, as WINE is always 32 bit by default, and this will make everything easier.
Install PlayOnLinux
Open PlayOnLinux, let it update, go through the first time startup wizard.
One PlayOnLinux is updated, click INSTALL
It will bring up a list of programs. Ableton Live is listed under Multimedia. Click that, and follow the instructions. VERY very straightforward.
There you go! Hope this helps you guys out! I will be keeping up-to-date with this script, as newer versions of Ableton come out.

With two views - the classic Arrangement View, where musical ideas are laid out along a timeline, and the unique Session View, where you can improvise and quickly experiment with musical ideas - Ableton Live is a fast, fun, intuitive way to make music.
