It isn't too hard to figure out do a raid 0 install, though choosing good values for chunking might take some guesswork. What are you going to be doing that makes you think raid 0 is desirable? For modern home machines with lots of memory, this probably isn't going to give you much of a speed up in typical use. It will make the chances of your file system being lost because of a hardware problem, about double. Raid 1 or 10 seem to be more useful for home users, than raid 0.
