Hi, if you follow this guide:
http://www.linuxsampler.org/debian.html
you can compile linuxsampler on debian and ubuntu.
I report that I successfully compiled LS for Debian Squeeze, Debian Wheezy* and Ubuntu LTS 10.04.
Otherwise you can install Ubuntu and add FalkXT repos(
http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Main_Page), but I don't know how old the LS build is.
* In Wheezy I think there were problems building gigedit, but you can find it in the repos.

Both AVLinux and DreamStudio have the SVN version of Linuxsampler (with SF2, SFZ support) already built-in so either one of those is an easy way to get started with LinuxSampler. Of course, you need to know something about Jack, and Linux audio too.

Tango Studio, based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. TS is very suitable, totally optimized for audio. Excellente distribution. Pierre

I use Gentoo which has great customisability (if that's a real word..) but there's a little bit more to learn than Ubuntu. If you want your music OS to "just work" I'd check out AVLinux.
