anyone used a mackie firewire ?

[greg emond]

hi all, im going to record a band next weekend, and since the drummer wants to use 8 mics for his drums, I will be forced to rent a firewire mixer for the drum recordings.  I contacted my favorite toy rental shop, and the one that would do the job is a mackie.
 
is anyone using this type of setup with ubuntu studio?   is there known issues?
 
I have a delta44 in there, would it be wise to remove it to avoid conflicts?  can I use both the mixer and the delta without creating havoc?
 
last time, I used the delta 44 only, but the drummer felt the drum was not "wide" enough. I feel it was more a mistake from my part (mic placement) but hey, hes the one with the money.
 
any better suggestions?
 
I wish I just could rent a delta 1010, but its not available for rental. -sigh-
