AV Linux is def. the best bet for your friend - I'd tell him to wait a

couple of weeks for 5.0.3 to be released as AV doesn't really support being

updated as such - it is supposed to be used 'as-is' as it includes lots of

apps and custom tweaks that are alien to the Debian repos and hence may or

may not work after you do an 'apt-get upgrade'.
The AV Linux manual is surely one the best guides and introductions to the

basics of Linux audio, JACK and Debian available too and if there is

anything not covered there it has excellent forums where you can ask your

distro-related questions but before using that I would recommend asking in

#opensourcemusicians on freenode irc.
Can't help with the Italian bit though, sorry, although there are a number

of Italian users on this list who may be able to point you somewhere useful?
