I found

http://www.64studio.com/node/1469

and there it's written that it's available at

http://pdk.64studio.com/projects/64studio/karmic/images/

I do agree that it#s not good to hide it that way.

Yes

I prefer GNOME. Btw. 3.3 alpha is using LXDE.

Not really. Especially if you wish to edit sheet music Rosegarden might
be the better choice.

I never tested Ardour3 myself. Most of the times I'm using Qtractor.
It's needed to compile Qtractor from SVN, because it doesn't be in its
infancy. You still might prefer Rosegarden, but note that usage of hr
timer will freeze Rosegarden, resp. the complete Linux. Qtractor can be
used with hr timer and IMO it's important to get PCs closer to hard
real-time when using external MIDI devices. For my needs PCs still have
to much MIDI jitter or some kind of sync issue for doing audio
recordings of external MIDI devices controlled by a Linux MIDI
sequencer.

Cheers!
