I've got two r16s (USB linked). I only use my computer for mix down
and mastering. The R16s mount fine under Linux. I haven't had a need
to try it as a control surface and, since I can record 16 tracks live, I
haven't needed to try it as an interface. It's so much more convenient
to go record wherever you need to than it is to drag people back to my
home "studio". I record all of my band's gigs live using a direct out
per channel from the board into the R16s. The gain is a bit touchy but
I can live with it. Definitely worth the money.

I have the
Zoom R8, and about all I can do with it is mount as an
external drive. It would be cool to use it as a control surface with
Ardour (I think it can work like a Mackie surface), but getting the
USB interface to work with ALSA has been problematic:
You must be googleing the same internet as I am :)
My little bit of testing here does leave me impressed. Sounds very
clean and appears to have a lot of options. Just a matter of putting
on my glasses and boring down into the various menus.
