Hi Batz,
Hope that Fedora works out for you - as others have already said, it's

possible to get linux audio working on any distro, but it is more/less

work depending on how well your components are supported.

Regarding Linux Sampler - I have never had any issues with it at all

(Debian and Ubuntu). I just followed the instructions on the LS site

and compiled/installed from source. There are several libraries that

need to be compiled/installed before it will work, but it is well

documented on the site. You probably do need to get jack working first

though.. I would recommend qsampler as the GUI frontend to LS.
Regarding creating/editing samples/banks - I'm not sure what you are

after. My workflow (if I wanted to get sample-based instruments into

fluidsynth) would probably be:
1) run jack (using qjackclt)

2) Linux-based synths: zynaddsubfx/bristol/AMS/phasex/... others? with

audio output routed (via jack) to:

3) time-machine (note - if you wanted to make "wet" samples, you could

route the audio output from the synth through something like jack-rack

to run some ladspa effects before routing on to time machine).
4) load audio snippets recorded using time machine into:

5) Audacity - edit samples, normalise, maybe add effects?

6) Make soundfonts using Swami (or if using linuxsampler as playback

engine maybe make gig files using gigedit, or maybe sfx files with

hand-editing a text file).
