===== 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. 

  * [[apps:all:KXStudio]] may be the most popular and even has a [[http://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=47|dedicated subforum]] on the Linuxmusicians.com forums. 
  * [[apps:all:AVLinux]] is another popular option. 
 
There is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_live_cd| Live cd]] available for both of these distributions, so you can try it without installing.
