ok reading a little more I see that in linux you will be missing out on your Cuemix software for the Motu, which would be needed to initially route the adat to the analog i/os. You can always dual-boot, or have switchable HDD caddies, one for windows one for linux, using windows just for the Cuemix. Then again if you are still considering a Behringer, heh I'll send you mine in exhange for your Motu (and even pay the difference! I can control the Motu from my iBook...). -michael
