You can make it work on any distro, but afaik the only installer that
currently has "native support" is RH 6.2's gui installer.

It does, for RAID-1 (mirroring). (no striping involved, and their lilo
has been patched to support the raid-1 device). Using Disk Druid,
it's pretty straightforward to make a couple of partitions and "make
raid device", so you should be ok.
The steps to reverse a bootable raid onto an existing system are a bit
tedious, but covered in the Boot+Root RAID Howto and Software RAID Howto,
both at linuxdoc.org
