So here is the update!

After working in conjunction with the developers of FFADO (the people who make drivers for firewire audio) for the past fortnight, I know have both my Motu 8pre's daisy chained and recording without a glitch, or loosing sync in sight anywhere!!!!!

SOLID AS A ROCK!

So, there you have it people. It can be done, and i'm going to be continuing to use linux to record with for the simple reason that i know that when i boot it up now, its going to work EVERY time!

Glad it worked for you.

I'm in general agreement that fixing a Firewire problem in Windows is probably easier than even installing Linux, let alone getting it configured. But I agree with you that a technical OS challenge can be fun. Kudos to you for getting your system working well!
 
I had considered Linux at one time but Windows XP runs my SONAR just fine. However one caveat is in order here. My old 3.0 P4 ran music and media better than my current AMD duel Core of the same speed. Next time around I'm going back to Intel.

Congrats, but how do you "know" this when you just started using it? Don't believe the internet hype about Linux being rock solid...Its only as solid as the operator.

Wow, i guess i'm not allowed to be chuffed then untill I 'know' for sure!!! lol

Oh doom and gloom!
 
I have a computer I was thinking of switching over to Linux to see if I like it at all. The biggest hurdle for me was that I just bought an 8pre and wasn't really looking forward to trading it in for something more compatable. Would you be willing to help me get the system up and running?
 
I believe that Linux has only one CPU scheduler. Although I am aware of the existence of another CPU scheduler that is available to those that patch their kernels.Linux is so great because there's the freedom of viewing the source. Generally, developers don't want to make money with it. That's why there are so few GUIs. If we were so desperate in needing a GUI, we'd write it ourselves. That separates us from the "ordinary user".
 
I just installed Ubuntu, last week on my spare PC. It's dual boot. Linux 32 bit on one hard drive and Vista Ultimate 64 bit on the other.
I'll find some time to tinker with it at some point but in all honesty, the learning curve kind of scares me away.
Keep us updated and congratulations on your accomplishments so far.
