Yes, audacity should work for basic recording (assuming that when Greg
says "but was not able to get any software that that was on my F22
machine to recognize the the live feed" he just means he couldn't find
software to do it, not that the USB capture device isn't working).

For more complicated work a DAW like Ardour (available in the repos)
will let you record different layers and samples, but you'll have to
use Jack. That will also let you do things like add effects and other
stuff like drum machines (e.g. Hydrogen). You may want to check out
these which I wrote a while back:
