Hardware Raid Questions/Suggestions?

[James Deptuck]

Hello
We are purchasing a new server for our company.
Does anyone have any experiences with particular hardware raid controlers
that they'd be willing to share?
What's the most reliable controler?
What controler is the easiest to setup and recover in the event of a
failure?

We would like to put the root partition on raid (everything raided).
What problems arise from that? Will linux support that easily with this
card?

Thanks a bunch for your time.
