Knoppix + the agnula DeMudi add-on disks might be a great way to
start for someone new to linux sound. I was thinking about this as I was apt-cdroming it with the full debian install. My wife has been using a knoppix Hard Drive install for a couple of weeks, and has been mostly happy.
Oh well, maybe the next forum search for what linux distro, this
will pop up and someone can try it :).

An easy way to install Debian is using a knoppix CD. If you do a harddisk install of that only a few questions are asked, everything is autodetected. Later on you can follow the Debian apt-get repository.
