So I just made a mess of my long-trusted and tested Ubuntu installation. To be fair, I couldn't get it to work with my new M Audio 1010LT, but I was trying. I upgraded to a newer version of Ubuntu, which worked. I then tried to convert this into KX Studio. When rebooting for the first time, it got no further than the splash screen.
So I'm back to Debian. What I really need are some pointers for getting started. I know I will need JACK, but it doesn't look like this is just one package, so I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to need to apt-get.
Then there are other things I vaguely remember doing with Ubuntu, such as editing various config files and adding "users" to "groups".
Does anyone have a good guide to starting things like this from scratch?

Re: Starting afresh with Debian
Thanks for the link. That looks like a very serious guide to setting up a system. I have returned to beginner/noob stage with my computer now. Having lost Ubuntu when trying to change it into KXStudio, then lost Debian through trying to control the fan speeds, I now find myself with Lubuntu!
The guide says nothing about installing and setting up Jack. I'm just going to start by installing qjackctl to see if that installs all the other bits required to make it work.
Strangely, pulseaudio doesn't seem to be included in Lubuntu. Pulseaudio can get in the way when trying to use more serious music software, but some applications I am going to install might actually need it, so I'm going to have to bear in mind some of the things that need to be done when using both.
