Here's what I want to do. Is it possible?
3 hard drives, each, say, 500GB.
Boot partition 1GB RAID 1
Root partition 20GB (on each drive) RAID5 = 40GB (right?)
Home partition the rest of the available space RAID5


Can I use the Ubuntu server install disc to set this up and then use

sudo apt-get install xubuntu desktop?

Is there a better way to do this?

I had to make a standard non-raid partition on one of my disks for "/boot" so that grub could access & load "grubs stage2" from "/boot" so that it could "startup & mount" my raid "md0" disk ("/") .

Whoops. It would appear that I actually mean software RAID.
