The first installation I tried (Fedora) didn't have a familiar interface. The second (Ubuntu) did, but I couldn't install PD on it for some unknow reason. I used a tar-ball installation, and ran the "make install"-command and it did install on the computer, but PD just wouldn't start up. On the third distribution I tried JackLab, PD worked, but I had no internet connection.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I'm used to run normal pc's (Windows), so I'm after a distribution that has a graphic desktop environment to not make it too unfamiliar for starters.
