i haven't tried ardour yet, specificly because of the rather small screen, but 
my band sucessfully records every rehearsal on a samsung nc10 + alesis io|2 
with audacity (kubuntu) for months now. the only problem we encountered yet 
was volume... sometimes when we're really loud (as in "swans"), the vibrations 
in the room made the program freeze (not the os... maybe some harddrive 
protection mechanism jumped in, i guess). but as soon as we placed the netbook 
on a slice of synthetic foam, the recordings ran in one take for 3+ hours 
without any hickups.

btw, the alesis io|2 works fine with linux (plug it in & go), but i wouldn't 
recommend it for midi, as it drops portions of larger messages (sysex). apart 
from that i really enjoy it.
