I could be into that. I was trying to setup a RAID 1 for Ubuntu. I found it easier for FC 4 (must be the way the info is displayed.) My efforts were half-hearted, so I'll try again to make that work before I ask for any help.

I may have a collection of matched drives (WD 7.5 - 20 GB) for people to have as experimenters. I need to know the disaster recovery routine for when one of these mirrored drives fails. I am using new Seagate drives so I don't think about it much, but I really don't know how to recover. Something like use the remaining (working) drive to repeat the RAID setup process.

An XP RAID 0 was easy to setup once I saw the F6 (F2, can't remember?) third party prompt, but Linux looks even easier, once you get the hang of it, and I feel that people would be into this for data safety.

P.S. the answer to my FAT32 question was indirectly answered in earlier posts of a month ago (i.e. use a USB external HDD and be done with it.) Don't mind me if I lurk more and post less, its time to take the training wheels off (I need to do more web research before I post stupid questions.)

You know, we used to do that. Then we backed it up with weely clincs. If we plan in advance, take advantage of free publicity, we could get quite the draw, and help a lot of people out. We havnt done one in like 5 years, so we are probably about due.

Maybe we should organize an ubuntu installfest for those interested in
NOT moving to Vista.

Many people, daunted by Vista's hardware requirements and product activation issues, claim on various boards how they plan to "switch to Linux."

I think this is even simpler.

 goes on to show what it is like for a dedicated Windows user to
try linux. Admittedly, the guy is a n00b.
