Software raid eats up more CPU, but linux' software raid seems to be rather good. Doing the root filesystem on raid in linux is kind of a PITA.
Not if you're doing a fresh install with the Sarge debian-installer CD. SW RAID-1 was downright easy.
Good news then!
I was actually thinking of following the instructions on
http://juerd.nl/site.plp/debianraid
that installed woody on a software raid1, using knoppix to start things up and then bootstrapping woody (whatever "bootstrapping" means)
I'll use a vmware virtual PC with 2 virtual scsi disks to try the Sarge installer CD, while I wait for the "real" hardware to get to my hands...
Thanks for the tip!
