what are the best packages (similar to Cakewalk or Cubasis) for a wannabe "Disco Noise" composer.
Rosegarden and Muse are the big midi sequencers for Gnu.
On the offchance you're running Mandrake, this page is indespensible for music:

Even if you're not it's worth looking at the docs.
You'll likely want vkeyb (virtual midi keyboard) and/or one of the aconnect frontends for midi routing, eg. kaconnect, or qjackctl if you think you might want to run the jack-audio-connection kit, which you'd need for realtime audio.
Gnu audio's all a bit of a work in progress at the moment, but you should already be able to do real work, particularly if you just want midi.
HTH.
