:* Ran Synaptic Package Manager (from Admin), and installed Ubuntu Studio Desktop (I pretty well selected ALL packages associated with Ubuntu Studio).
:* Followed instructions to make my Tascam US122 device work with my netbook: [ [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122] ]<br /><br />
* I did some additional cosmetics of the appearance of my Gnome Desktop like running the Avant Window Navigator (docking panel appearance like Mac OSX), and remove the "old-style" gnome-panels. Here is a resource that I created to help: [ [[Replacing Panels with Docking Station (awn)]] ]<br /><br />* Now you have Ubuntu Studio on your machine. Here are some guides that I have written to help you get started. This is assuming that you are using the Tascam US122 usb interface::* FYI, the '''Maudio Fasttrack Pro''' is a good usb interface and "works out of the box" (after a couple of Jack server settings)... There is also a cheaper version for approx $87 CDN, but lacks MIDI connection (which may not be a problem since newer MIDI musical keyboards are USB anyways...)
