#2 i cannot resize the *width* of the main window in Ardour small enough so that I can see the whole thing on my monitor. what’s up with that?

We whole heartedly support your urge to upgrade to AMD64, Ubuntu, & the use of Ardour! As per your firewire preference, check out <a href="http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page" title="Free FireWire Audio Drivers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">FFADO</a> which stands for "Free FireWire Audio Drivers" (FFADO used to be known as FreeBob) Take a peek at the <a href="http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/List_of_Supported_Devices" title="FireWire devices supported by FFADO" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">list of supported devices</a>. We think you'll be very pleased. The fact that it works is a good sign and means people will be and are improving the driver. But to tell you tell truth, you can't always rely on what you read in forums or chatrooms. Some people are never pleased with anything. Also, who knows what mistakes they may have made or necessary steps they were oblivious to which caused their conflicts in the first place. But, since Ubuntu is free it's also risk free. Hope you see you around. Hows it goin’ moll? We whole heartedly support your urge to upgrade to AMD64, Ubuntu, & the use of Ardour!

do you know for instance, if my presonus firebox will work in ubuntu studio without too much hassle?
thanks!

Thanks for the screenshot. They are looking great. Want to find out how easy it will be for me to install everthing and get my RME Hammerfall and Echo Indigo working. And hopefully my Line6 Guitarport as well. Super interesting! Thanks for the screenshot. They are looking great.
