Ok I just installed a ubuntu distro dual booted with XP.
For the bulk of today I have been looking form a good useful audio creation app.
the windows ones I found aren't what I wanted,
So here I am, I looked at Rosegarden and it looks good...but since I am a windows user(have been for years) I don't have a clue how to install anything on ubuntu, a ready to run solution is what I want, but with some help I probably can get around that.

Run System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager. Click on Search (not quick search). Search for rosegarden. Click on the tick-box and select "mark for installation." Then click on "Apply." It should show up in Sound & Video.

Gordonintoronto, sorry, I have unubtu 10.04lts installed. Audio creation on this context means I want to do my own stuff.
This Ubuntu has been an adventure for me, The way I understand it most of the apps install via internet, but I need to install from CD/jumpdrive. Also as I understand it all I need to do, is dowload the source, then mark it for installation, so the program will adapt itself to the ubuntu /linux version is that right?
