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.
