No reason why not to. Although any notebook can be used, I recommend a
notebook with an AMD processor (as many otherwise excellent LADSPA
plugins have a specific issue with certain Intel based processors) that
has a built-in firewire interface that can bus-power. (Ask your vendor
if you don't know what this means). To this firewire interface, I would
probably attach a Roland FA-101 for a good
price/quality/linux-workability ratio. You would have to check Gentoo
how well Freebob is supported and perhaps wait a little, I know Ubuntu
support for Freebob is due this October.

Hello,
(Lurking mode off ;-)
Trying to keep this short: Is it possible, in general, to do low
latency multitrack-recording in ardour with a notebook and a
multichannel audio-interface? If so, does anyone have any
recommendations for notebooks and audio-interfaces that are suitable
for this task and still available?
I'd like to run gentoo-linux on it, do some recording and maybe, from
time to time, do some Sequencing / Sample playback and PureData-stuff.
Thank you,
