I'm not a RAIDer myself, but from what I've heard through the grapevine, software raid is the way to go. Of course, if you've a good reason for choosing hardware over software raid, more power to you, but I've heard plenty of people saying "ditch that piece of junk and just use software RAID which works beautifully" when asked about hardware RAID controllers. Also, (generally speaking) Debian doesn't have anything to do with your hardware. If it works with Linux, it works with Linux. You just might have to (maybe patch and) recompile your kernel to get it working, but Debian doesn't really meddle at that level (thought it can help you build a kernel .deb) good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
