I second that emotion Geoff!! Last weekend I finished 3 days of recording a band. Each day was an 11 hour day using jack and ardour on FC1 with a 512 buffer. The ONLY xruns occured when shutting down and restarting ardour to set up a new recording session. I believe this was discussed in a previous thread. It's a SOLID system and I'm estatic. I preach the gospel of linux whenever I run into another persond involved in music. I'm up to my ears in mixing and mastering now and having a great time. Keep up the fantastic work everyone - this is an awsome system.
