Linux RAID currently supports RAID 10 on 2 drives. Would recommend that over RAID 0 in most cases. It will give you the redundancy of mirroring with the IO of striping with as few as 2 drives. Plus none of the hassles that come with booting your OS on a striped array.
The only drawback is that few distro support setting it up at install time. No biggie if you are configuring it as secondary storage, if the distro has native drive/partition management GUI's. However, if trying to set it up to install an OS on, you need to be fairly comfortable with Linux command line. Some time ago, I put together a cheat sheet for just such occasions. I can make it available if needed.
