Marek NovotnyI understand the criteria of ' smallest foot-print possible' but that criteria can quickly fall by the wayside once you get things up and running. Here's an article (there are tons) that cover some of the things you'll want to consider, even if you're just trying to 'keep things simple and to a minimum'.

Right now I am trying to remember about this Linux friendly mixer which might help me record audio from multiple sources into the mic jack. It was supposed to be very small and I heard it mentioned once on a show. Which I could remember the damn name of it. I'd like to buy that.
All you need is multichannel audio I/O, the 'mixer' can be software based. That said, personally, I prefer to have a physical mixer (you can get units that have multi channel I/O built in). My youngest son and his buddy were messing around with the podcasting idea recently (it was actually video casting against a green screen) and I let them have full reign over my studio (with a cautious eye by me). The results were pretty amazing to me. What can be done out of the house now...
Would you recommend one with the smallest foot-print possible.
And a Mic if you know of a good one.The Heil and Rode stuff is pretty good in this niche but it really depends on your budget. There are so many mics dedicated to the task now it's crazy, here are some popular ones:
