Ubuntu Studio distro has lots of audio and midi applications pre-installed as well as all the standard desktop productivity stuff and is based on the latest Canonical long term release but built with the real time Linux kernel.

You can always try it on your hardware via “Live DVD”. It’ll be slow but you can see if things work. You can also find out on the Ubuntu site how your hardware is supported. They maintain a list of computer desktops, notebooks and netbooks that are either certified to run Ubuntu (all features and drivers included and work), or not quite certified but most if not all features work/probably work.

I’m running Ubuntu Studio on a Lenovo x100e netbook (also an Asus netbook and an HP Pavilion desktop).

Linux - If you plan to learn enough about Linux to be ab le to fix problems, and are willing to use Linux based software that is different from the big companies products for Windows and Mac, Linux will work fine for you, IF you can find drivers for all the hardware in the Lenovo. If you just want to make music using tools that are mainstream, I'd stay with Windows. I've had better luck with Canonical's Ubuntu than most flavors for ease of install, use, and updating.
