I'd recommend anything else than ubuntu! As an ardour dev, I've tried
helping people fix their ubuntu systems to get ardour (and other
application) working smoothly. They've ran into strange problems etc. which
newbies can't handle by themselves.
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/)
(btw. I have nothing against ubuntu or debian, I use debian myself and
wouldn't change it for the world. But. I'm not a newbie)

I want to have
a look at Ardour and if you could point me to an OS and
how
to install what, then that'd help me a lot.
I'd recommend ubuntu: www.ubuntu.com
It's good for beginners and laptops :)
Take a look in the wiki there on how to install software...i think there

What about DeMuDi? Would that be a good choice? (I'm not a linux newbie,
but I'm a sound newbie).

It seems to be a religious issue. Folks with Redhat background like
the Planet. Folks with Debian background seem to like DeMuDi. I used
the Planet for a long time and it was a great, great set of tools.
Easy to use and very good results. I now mostly use Gentoo.
I would not *necessarily* recommend Gentoo for a new Linux user, other
than to say that once he/she got it up and running they would be a
much more experienced Linux user. ;-)

Seconded. But if you have a bit experience then Gentoo is a really
smooth Distro. I'm a Desktop user and tried SuSE and Mandrake before,
but none of them survived on my machine as long as Gentoo did :) .

As DeMuDi is made for audio work it's safe to say that it would be
better suited for audio than Ubuntu.
I'd suggest CCRMA over any debian for total newbies, but if you aren't a
linux newbie, DeMuDi could work well. One warning about DeMuDi though.
It isn't _just_ another repository, it installs software which modifies
the general behaviour of Debian.
This being said. CCRMA affects the behaviour of Fedora also.

Hi friends
I agree with this : Agnula is perfect for music. Don't try do make a
"home made agnula ubuntu based" or you're gonna cry.
ubuntu is a nice linux for newbies, not for hard work. Not even for
"classic" work...
1° Agnula Demudi Debian based
2° APODIO 4.12.4 Mandriva based

A/DeMuDi installs from a single CD in about an hour.
http://demudi.agnula.org/wiki/InstallCdRom
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.

Hi all,
Many thanks to everybody for the useful thoughts and suggestions.
For hardware I've got a 1-year-old IBM laptop, nothing exotic, at least
everything I need works in Ubuntu. The video card is ATI, it needs
proprietary drivers for 3D acceleration, but I don't think I'll miss 3D
much for recording, so it's not really a problem.
I think I will set up a dual-boot system: I'll keep the Ubuntu system I
now have for work, and add a DeMuDi or Fedora system for recording
purposes. Does anybody have enough experience with the DeMuDi and Fedora
installers to know if this goes seamlessly, or should I expect some grub
fiddling/trips to recovery mode ? Well, never mind, I'll just have to try,
and I'll post if/when I'm stuck :-).
The Live CD is a good idea, I'll start by that. I stumbled on Agnula last
week, when the web site was awfully slow, which was quite frustrating, but
things seem to be better now.
Thanks again for the advice,
Florence

Hi
You shouldn't have a problem with any of them as regards dual booting.
I have 3 systems on here
64 Studio ( Running 64 bit DOH!)
studio to go ( 32 bit)
and some MS thing with Xp in the title.
All works although the Xp drive has some dust on it!!!
cheers
