why dont you make music and motion picture instead (as i do. word "art" should be forbidden)

linux installers became quite easy, painless and fast (max 30 min)

there is a Demudi liveCD at http://demudi.agnula.org/images/1.2.1/demudi-live_1.2.1_i386.iso or if you only need PD, get Ubuntu and install PD. there is also a PD-Knoppix liveCD at http://d.linux-bg.org/?folder=distros/pd-knoppix/

windblows is already a mess once you installed it

all linux distros have at least one mailing list, and im sure there will be a couple of guys to help you out. documentation is everywhere, try google.

honestly, for 5 years ago i didnt even own a computer, i just played my bass. a week ago i did my first gig with PD on demudi, which really pulled some teeth. nothing is impossible when you have time to imagine it. dont give up

best regards
