Oh, dude, completely ignore that... I shifted my home machine to software
RAID-1 the other day, so my brain is set 100% on software issues. Hardware
RAID should not be a problem for Mandrake at all, as long as it supports the
SCSI adapter out of the box. Shouldn't be too much to ask of an Adaptec
these days.
