    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.
