At the moment, firewire on linux *typically* requires personal love and care (installing libraries, compiling from source, googling until your eyes are shot) to get your setup up-and-running. It is generally *not* plug-and-play. Some distro's either provided the Freebob driver or the newer FFADO driver, or both. Some compile JACK without FFADO support. Some devices require prayer and fasting in order to divine a configuration string for a driver. However, Fireware *does* work on Linux if you pick the right device -- and it's getting better all the time. Your best resources for hardware and config. are: * The FFADO web site (http://www.ffado.org/). They have a list of supported, recommended, and NOT recommended devices. * this mailing list (search the archives). This list is full of the wranglings of many people trying to get their firewire device to work. * the LAD (developer) mailing list FWIW, my brother has a Saffire that he got running over Christmas, but it wasn't fun. AFAIK, it works OK. If you're still game: awesome! However, if you're wanting something that is more plug-and-play... you might look into PCI or USB solutions.
