 I've been looking into this pretty hard myself.  I just bought a
 Roland A-33 MIDI controller so I could run Native Instrument's B4
 organ software on my Ubuntu box.  Whether or not Ubuntu is the
 perfect
 audio distro is a matter of opinion, but the hardware end of things
 isn't.  I agree with Lee, having a 2 or 3U box is the perfect
 solution.  I just don't see laptops being able to compare with
 desktop
 hardware here.
 The trouble is finding a short enough rackmount case to fit in what I
 would consider to be a "standard" audio rack (18" or less).  I found
 some here:  www.mypccase.com.  I have no experience with these
 people,
 but so far they are the only ones I've found.  Surely there are more
 out there??? 
I have some of these in a data center rack. Generic AMD system.

1U boxes are loud, which might not make a difference for live performance but surely does
for recording.
