I use a Midiman Midisport 2x2 on Linux and Winblow's. It works well, has never let me down and is easy to use. I bought it on Ebay for about $25.00US a few years ago. Only problem wiht most of them I hear is booting up Linux with USB midi device is a problem but not because of the box. And, of course....I Linux WE NEVER have to reboot right?? :) Chhers
