raid is pretty easy on ubuntu. either use the server install disk or the
alternate install disk. assuming you have 1 disk for the system and another
set of disks for the raid just setup the system disk as normal. after than,
add 1 partition to each of the disks you want raid on and set the type to
'raid'. when you have that done, the partition section of the installer
with have a new option that says setup raid.
you can also install webmin, which can be downloaded directly from
www.webmin.com. webmin has an interface to setup raid so you can do this
with an easy gui on an installed system. the command line tools are also
pretty easy.
as far as installing BackupPC on freenas, I think that it will be whole lot
more work that you want to spend. freenas is a very trimmed down freebsd
install. i have run freenas off of a 48MB CF card with tons of room to
spare.
