Free is working on a 2.6 kernel for DeMuDi, but I don't know whether it's
useable yet. I do think A/DeMuDi is possibly one of the easiest ways to get a
working Linux-based music system. Try using synaptic.

No. If you want to use DeMuDi, then install AGNULA/DeMuDi. You are asking for
trouble if you try to install it backwards like this. The main problem you
are likely to be experiencing with DeMuDi is that it doesn't support
proprietary drivers, so the nVidia support is limited. PlanetCCRMA/Fedora or
Mandrake might be more sympathetic to your hardware.
