you're probably better off asking questions like this on one of the
general linux support groups on usenet, like comp.os.linux.misc. You need
to install a newsreader like Pan to read them though, but that should be
part of your standard distribution. Also, at least say which distribution
you're running - they are all different when it comes to installing
packages.

Have you checked to see if your distro comes with a version of ardour
aleady? E.g. in debian you'd run synaptic and search for ardour, in SuSE
or Mandrake you'd go through the control centre and look for 'install
software'.
