Hello all,
It's been over 10 years since I've done any digital audio stuff on my PC and
now having finally bought a house, I'm actually going to have some room in
the basement to setup a DAW, my Yamaha DTX II kit, keyboard, etc. and have
some fun.
Anyways, back in the day, triggering audio samples via MIDI was always a bit
of a hassle with my (at the time) underpowered machine with the various VST
instruments. I now have a P4 3.0GHz box with 2GB RAM and some sort of
newish Soundblaster card and I'm interested in triggering live .wav/digital
audio drum samples with my kit and some Hammond B3 emulators from my
keyboard. I'd like to do some multitrack MIDI and audio recording as well
(most likely overdubs so a multi-input soundcard/break-out device isn't
really in the picture right now).
Can anyone suggest what software (or any how-tos/sites) I should be looking
at? What distro is best? I'm more confortable with Debian/Ubuntu
personally.
Thanks in advance

You should be looking at Qtractor. If that doesn't work, then LMMS + Ardour
does it although you have to switch between a normal and JACK environment to
get the MIDI done and imported/exported (JACK support in LMMS is in
development - not developed).
There are Ubuntu Studio, JAD and 64Studio, among others. The latter may be
lagging behind in updates, but is very stable and guarantees you a steady
workflow. Personally, I believe both the Suse and Ubuntu offerings are on
par, except that I don't like GNOME. As such, I recommend JAD (Jacklab).

There's a lot of software around!
First have a look at apps.linuxaudio.org !
Note: The applications mentioned there have very different quality and features,
so it might take some time, until you find what works best for you.
For Midi, pupular sequencers are:
muse (use the cvs-version!), rosegarden, qtractor, non-sequencer, seq24
Some Trackers support midi as well (btrk IIRC)
What distro is best? I'm more confortable with
Debian/Ubuntu
personally.
Then try Studio64, pure:dyne or Ubuntu Studio
