RAID 5 is fast in READING but NOT WRITING. You gotta make sure what you
want, not all RAID levels have the same read or write speed.

My suggestion for very well supported RAID controllers
http://www.mylex.com
I havent had ANY problems with them.
RH has the driver for the DAC960 "built in" and is very well developped.
They scream with IBM drives (mylex suggests them).
And if you have some 'real money' to spend, get RH enterprise server.
I have heard good (and bad) stuff, depending who you talk to.
