Actually Mint which uses the latest Ubuntu LTS release.
I believe Mint would use whatever Ubuntu provides for mirroring.

OK. The steps are, roughly,

1. Use the installer to partition the drives identically. I typically
   create three partitions: /boot, swap, and / (root partition), but
   I know some people like to carve out separate filesystems for /srv,
   /home, /var, etc.

2. As you create the partitions, mark them with id 'fd' (Linux
   raid autodetect).

3. Choose to create a metadevice of type RAID-1. Build your
   filesystem on top of that.

I know the steps are not quite that simple, but that's the best I can do from memory. It's very achievable, however, and I suspect you'll be able to figure it out.

(I assume you have two drives of the same size...)
