Yes - sorry - just Ubuntu Studio plus some of the additional bits from
kxstudio. I am not on that computer at present, but I think I am using
the realtime kernel for kxstudio - 2.6.33-29.1
One thing I noted is that it seems to be a bit more CPU-intensive than
using my old PCI SBLive soundcard, but I guess this is to be expected.
I bought it to be forwardly compatible anyway so I don't see this as a
major problem.. I am upgrading that computer in the next week or so,
so I will let you know how it runs with the new setup.

IIRC, the Focusrites only accept 32 bit input at the hardware level,
and USB is also a more CPU-intensive bus. It has to be supervised
continuously, unlike PCI[-x/-e].
I'd been unaware of the 2i4 before this thread; the 2i2 is a very good
little box, and I had been wishing it had 2 more outputs...

Yep. It also has Midi in/out too.. for those legacy keyboards/sound
modules.. and the zero latency headphone mix is very useful.
I think the 2i2 also had some trouble clipping with hot instruments.
The 2i4 has a -10dB pad which helps with this..
