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. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim
