I recently installed the new Ubuntu LTS, but I hate messing with configurations. I couldn't get my sound to work right, and then when I got it up an running with JACK and all Recording Stuff it froze. Ugh, its so frustrating to work with Linux, specially when I'm browsing the web, was Mozilla always that bad under Linux?? I think maybe they changed something since v3. Because it never used to be that bad.

I'm mostly looking for a good setup so i record my Guitar and Playback at the same time. I was able to setup jack to Record from my Ampilfier, but I couldn't get my computers soundcard to work, I have 3 different soundcards on my PC and ever combination I've tried so far either crashed JACK or Crashed Gnome.

I have no Idea what I'm doing.

If you don't like messing with configs then any 'nix distro probably isn't right for you.

Haha Maybe, I'll try to mess around with it and see what happends

Check out musix.org and 64studio.com
Personally I use a mac for recording but that's cause I have a lot of hardware for pro tools

I've read that for optimum performance you'll want to install the Karmic (9.10) Real Time kernel. Its in the 10.04 repos for this purpose (10.04 kernel does not have a real time scheduler option). AFAIK you can install all the rest of the UbuntuStudio bits into a standard Ubuntu install.

If you are new to Linux I'd suggest you stick with Ubuntu because in my experience its one of the easiest and the Ubuntu forums are very useful and newb friendly. If you have a search on there you may even find info about your issues. If not, then post a new topic in the relevant area. If you aren't getting any response, maybe try giving your post an occasional bump because there is a lot of traffic there and topics often get buried pretty quick. But don't over do it :)
