I have the Sound Blaster Live. The drivers for this card under Linux are not available yet. I went ahead and purchased the card knowing I couldn't run it fully under Linux at this time. I believe the card will be supported under Linux because it is a great card and in my opinion Creative will sell many . You get all the analog, synth, and midi feature plus digital I/O for around $200US. I do use the card on the other OS until they get the drivers worked out. Open Sound System (OSS) and Creative both are working on drivers for this card. Thanks Karl
