I use Ardour and an Echo Audiofire12 to simultaneously record 12 mics on a Dell laptop. The last time I saw an xrun was when I budged the firewire cable while it was recording. A note on upgrading: I create 3 system '/' partitions from which I copy each install to perform the upgrade. That way I don't corrupt my current system in case there's a problem. /dev/sda1 is F12 copy /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda2 upgrade F12->F13 on /dev/sda2 F12 on /dev/sda1 is untouched while I test F13 on /dev/sda2. Be sure to have a separate '/home' and '/boot'. YMMV. -Scott
