There are moves towards making these RAID arrays visible to Fedora (I
can't diagnose why yours wasn't), but what you end up with is Linux
software RAID using the disk structures that the BIOS set up -- almost
exactly what you've got now, it's just that the BIOS knows about it too.
It's arguably better *not* to go with the BIOS-based RAID, and just go
for Linux software RAID, simply because then your RAID isn't dependent
on the BIOS of the machine in question, and can be moved to a different
sort of PC without problems.
Hope this helps,
James.
