Alright I think I am finally settled on the idea of converting to Linux. Or at least using a live cd to dual boot for awhile to see how my hardware will work with Linux. Which distro should I choose? I was thinking about Ubuntu with Wine so I can try to run Cubase for audio recording. However the distro quiz also recommended Mint,Mandriva, Xubuntu and OpenSuSe. What do you think?
looks pretty good..do you think my Lexicon Alpha will work with Ardour? Surely the drivers are compatible with Linux…
I would recommend ubuntu from personal experience. There is alot of support for it on the web. Tutorials and what not.
As for audio recording in linux
Ardour is where its at…..http://ardour.org/ check it out

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 6 Main Edition. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.
You would be best off RUNNING IT LIVE so you can get the feel of things.

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 6 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.
Remember you can RUN IT LIVE !
