If you are a linux newbie and your primary goal is to
get Linux audio
working smoothly, you should go for Fedore Core 3 + Planet CCRMA
(http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/)
A/DeMuDi installs from a single CD in about an hour.

It's equally good for newbies, so long as your hardware is supported. It is
known to be fiddly if your hardware requires closed-source drivers, so check,
and downright ugly on older laptops. Best test is to download
http://demudi.agnula.org/images/1.2.1/demudi-live_1.2.1_i386.iso
and see if it works. If not Planet CCRMA is a good choice.
I would also not recommend starting with Ubuntu.
