Linux Audio Bundles and Distributions
Especially for newbies its recommended to start with a Linux Distribution which is specially made for audio/multimedia usage.
Which one is the best? There are many opinions.
- KXStudio may be the most popular and even has a dedicated subforum on the Linuxmusicians.com forums.
- AV Linux is another popular option.
There is a Live cd available for both of these distributions, so you can try it without installing.
