Thanks, Glenn.  I started to by a Scarlett, my dealer insisted on
selling me a MOTU M2 because MOTU claims "class compatibility" (as it
turns out, for Macintosh only).  The build quality of the MOTU is
impressive, but it has problems (noise) on every Linux machine I have
tried with it.  So tomorrow the MOTU gets returned for a Scarlett.

In addition to the Lexicons, a Shure X2U "just works" with Debian.
