This seems like a good suggestion. He's allready installed ubuntu

studio and is playing with it, I'll burn him AV 5.0.3 when it gets out

so he'll give it a try. 
Well, actually I was surprised he was able to install ubuntu aside

windows, do internet and start playing with Ardour, all in a couple of

hours and without help or much prior knowledge - that definitely wasn't

my first linux experience years ago. Things have really gone a long way.
