I do understand that the direction of technology flow seems to be into
the use of external HDD's for back-up so maybe I'm beating a dead horse
here. I bought an External HDD shell for $25 and intend to throw a 500
GB Seagate internal in there (right now it has that noisy 30 GB Maxtor,
that I'm waiting to see die, till I get the money.)
I'm talking about softRAID and a home user. I guess RAID 1 is a moot
point, but what about RAID 0? Isn't there a performance boost or is
this a lot of complexity for not much performance gain? This is
practice, not theory, so its fair for me to ask. What's your experience?

P.S. Technology freefall...it is hard for me to get use to.

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.
I have a PCI IDE raid controller card that im not using... I give up on
raid. regular drives work fine for my needs.

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.)
Thats what I usually do. a lot of times the 1GB SD card for my
camera/mp3 player does the trick, If I have to do a lot of stuff, i
have a USB HDD. I rarely use CD/DVD's anymore.

player works fine

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.

I think this is even simpler.
