Heh heh... yeah, when the package exists for the distro and the package 
maintainer has done a good job on packaging it, things work well.

Bad packages or packages that don't exist, then you're back to the "dark 
ages" of compiling it yourself -- which isn't too bad for old hands at 
Unix, or developers... but the average user shouldn't be put through that.

Many distros have a "request to package" website or handle it via their 
bug tracking systems... where you can post a link to the software you 
want to run on your Linux box that isn't part of the distribution's 
packages, and you can hope they package it for the next release...

Have fun with it.  Audacity works really well, and has a nice clean 
interface... no frills, but does a lot of "stuff".
