Sort of OT but, I hope you're not using ext3 for your audio data disk.
If so check this out -

Knecht's info on filesystem tests.

I spent some weeks getting a fresh gentoo partition running, getting ardour
working, only to get stopped dead in my tracks with a (not yet proven) kernel
bug in ext3 code.
I threw my hands in the air with disgust and had RH8 + planet going in 8 hours
(incl burning/verifying the ISOs) having never tried that route before
(thanks Fernando). I'm not a dummy, but I can read the instructions (Fernando
- may I suggest a link to an rpm repair page: I remember why I ditched
MDK/RH).
Tonight I captured 3 hours of rehearsal direct to disk. No glitches. Zero to
un-coordinated hero in a day....

Red Hat is okay as a server distro but they just
don't seem to understand
the desktop and unless you're a power user who knows enough to install
apt-rpm, you're stuck in dependency hell.
Hmmm, maybe not yet for "absolute beginners" but you don't need to be a
"power user" either. Surf to:

Follow the directions and get apt installed (no dependency hell), a
lowlat kernel, alsa and a bunch of audio/video apps.
