<div>I'd LOVE to have Ubuntu Studio work for me, as I'm not able to afford any of the mainstream audio programs, but this is just too much futzing around with code/terminal to make it usable for even home projects.</div>

<br></blockquote></div>Yeah, I hear your frustration. Linux audio is still pretty much geek territory. I have at least a hundred hours into Linux audio and haven't been able to get some things working, but most people have better luck. Ubuntu released every six months, and Ubuntu Studio tries to follow that schedule, so maybe try again after Hardy is released in April.<br>
<br>You might also see if Musix works for you. It's a live CD, so you don't have to install it if you don't want, and has good hardware detection:<br><br><a href="http://musix.org.ar/en/index.html">http://musix.org.ar/en/index.html</a><br>
<br>Another live CD is Dyne:Bolic. They make some bold claims as far as out-of-the-box usability with any hardware:<br><br><a href="http://dynebolic.org/">http://dynebolic.org/</a><br><br>I am skeptical of such claims, but it's free.<br>
