So, do you guys have suggestions for compleat newbies to help them get an
audio system up and running? Pitfalls, ideas for where to get help? I don't
want to try to come up with something step by step, just talk about the
concepts so someone who's new to all this won't be so intimidated. Think
back to when you first put your setup together. What where the hurdles to
getting things working where did you go to get help? What are the absoluter
"No, No's" when asking for help?
I appreciate in advace your feedback

In terms of ease of setup for an audio workstation, I have had great
luck with dyne:bolic. It has its flaws, is very unconventional in
system setup and the current release is a bit out of date, but rarely
do I need to do more than boot with the livecd, set my mixers, start
jack, and start making music when I try it on a new machine - with
most machines, in other words, if the CD is already burnt I can go
from a bare machine to making music two minutes later.
