It covers the binary install that is included with Ubuntu, which may get out of date. It also covers a source install. We have deployed a couple of Trixbox based machines. For RAID we have opted for a hardware solution. The 3ware RAID cards have served us well. Generally, I use them in all my critical servers. Even my non-critical home server has fairly nice 3ware SATA card. I like the 3wares because the drivers for their 7000, 8000, 9000 PATA and SATA cards have been supported by the upstream kernel for quite some time. This means that all distros should be able to support this hardware. There is a place for software RAID in Linux (it is pretty sweet), but for appliances such as Trixbox proper hardware (ie. _not_ Promise) might be the better way to go.
