Here's one way to check, however: boot knoppix. If it detects your raid and you're able to use it, FC5 will probably work with it.

Hi, all,
I'm planning on reformatting/upgrading my current desktop box to Fedora
Core 5 and making it into a file/print/scanner server instead. I've been
using FC5 at work, and I'm reasonably certain of its stability at this
point. For those wondering, I'm switching to my laptop running FC 5 as
my desktop machine - not to worry, I've not converted back to Windows!
Attached to the box right now is a four-drive, IEEE1394 enclosure that's
in RAID 5. I would obviously prefer _not_ to lose the ~500gb of stuff on
it. I assume that all I need to do is preserve my mdadm.conf across the
upgrade, and then plug the array back in, right? I'd like to be extra
sure about this...
