Well, sorry if the subject seems troll-ish, but I thought it would probably get the attention of someone who counts. I really want to use Ubuntu, but as of now, I'm installing Fedora...
Dapper (and Breezy for that matter) installation doesn't support LVM well; it's almost as though it was untested. Try to set up a system with LVM from any of the different installation discs, and you'll see what I mean. Dapper installation doesn't support LVM over software raid *at all*, even though it purports to. This was certainly untested. Dapper installation supports LVM over FakeRaid *even less*. I know nobody claims it's supported, except maybe that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto gives the impression that it might work. Even with an existing filesystem set up by the Fedora installer, installing in these configurations is impossible. LVM and RAID should be considered a minimal requirement for any server system -- maybe _any_ system that's expected to have a long lifetime. http://www.ubuntu.com/server makes it sound like ubuntu should be a solid server platform, but I can't even get started. IMO this has to be remedied if Ubuntu is going to be taken seriously as anything other than a hobbyist/consumer platform.
