[LAU] Yamaha MG166C-usb under Linux?

[hecke]

Dear all,

I am an absolute audio noob, not so much with Linux in general...
I am about to take over audio recording of speeches, which is currently
done via a Yamaha mg166c-usb, and WaveLab on a Windows machine.
As I won't have access to that computer, I am thinking of using Audacity
on Linux.

My concern: How does Linux deal with the Mixer?
Has anyone run the USB-port with a Linux machine?

Thanks a bunch!
