There was a recent discussion on linux-kernel on why software raid is better for you. To sum up: you aren't locked into a single vendor's metadata format, and most hardware raids just end up doing software raids anyway. See the archives or kernel traffic for the details. > From what I understand the current debian installer does not support > SATA, let alone RAID.

Another, albeit twisted way, is to install another system e.g. RedHat, on a small partition, and then convert the system to debian on the fly. Other suggestions?
