cheap DAWs to get started

[Darohan]

Ive been really looking at music production and I'm really interested in getting into it and getting started. one problem though. I'm super broke with debts and bills and shit. any suggestions on some free DAWs just to start learning about mixing and drums and everything?

By no means am I an authority on the subject, but everyone I know seems to have started out with FruityLoops... Not sure if they're getting them via illegitimate means or if FL just has a really good trial/free version, tho.

EDIT: Just saw your post about getting FL. Have fun!

Also, every program is free if you search hard enought.
