Install Ubuntu Spanning multiple drives

I am coming from using Fedora and it allows me to merge multiple drives together in order to have it recognized as one. I wanna say it was using LVM... Is there a way to do this with Ubuntu?

I used the Alternate Install disc (as always), and manually edited the partition table. By default, drive 2 was set up as /home, but I manually edited that to /stuff, since I just wanted a spared ext3 drive for all the downloads, multimedia, and other crap I amass over time.
