I'm interested in installing Ubuntu on my system and I'm not sure how to approach the procedure with my specific configuration.
I have (1) 74GB Raptor and (2) 320GB Caviars.
I'd like to install *buntu on the Raptor and then configure the two 320GB Caviars with software RAID1.
I have a Sil Image RAID controller on my motherboard but, I've read that that's fakeraid and the software RAID controller is better to run than the fakeraid config.
My ultimate goal is to have a LAMP server running and have the website that I'm hosting to be stored on the RAID1 comprised of the two caviars.
I found a guide at howtoforge for setting up the Perfect Ubuntu Desktop with a Debian LAMP chrooted on top of it. It seems like that configuration would be optimal for my needs but, I'm not sure how to approach setting up the RAID1 Array so that it is accessible from the server.
I realize that I may be "machine-gunning" my questions. I've been reading so many different "guides" and forum posts regarding this that I'm becoming the cliche of knowing just a little bit about too many things. I want to avoid doing damage.
If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
