Ubuntu Studio has not published a live DVD in several years. However, the
upcoming release, scheduled for late April, now in beta, has one.
   Daily build available here:
   http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current/
The daily build is built for AMD_64 only, the final release, as well as
the Beta1 (March 1st) will be available for several other architectures as
well.
   I just booted yesterday's daily build on my laptop. jack started up
readily, as well as Ardour. The Ardour release is 2.8.2, with a copyright
date of 2009. Current release is 2.8.12 (sept 2011), so it looks like the
debian & ubuntu packagers haven't kept up...

AVLinux, which was mentioned by another, is only available for i386.
