[CQ-Contest] Any serious contest loggers for LINUX??

I am a very casual contester currently using TRLog
(which I like very much) on an older DOS PC. Looking
forward a few years, maintaining that old PC and its
ilk is going to be quite problematic. Thus I wonder
if there have been any serious efforts to write up
a contest logger that would function well on a modern
very fast PC running LINUX (as opposed to Windows XXX). 
I do mostly CW for both regular operating and contests,
so superb CW keying from the program is a MUST. I am
wondering if LINUX running on, say, a 1.6 GHZ PC might be
free enough from system interrupts to key a rig. Or,
another  direction, could it drive a W5XD-style SO2R
control/keyer
box?

I am NOT a LINUX geek but have used it casually at work
along with UNIX on the workstations there.

If this is previously walked turf, I apologize in advance
as I am a newbie here.
