Anyone got any good pointers on links on how to do this? Assuming this is a new install, you can use the installer to do this. Choose the "custom partitioning scheme" option, and set up RAID (or, even better, LVM on top of RAID). A couple of pointers: 1) You'll have to create a RAID1 device for /boot, since you can't boot to a software RAID5 device (or an LVM device). 2) I'd go the LVM on top of RAID route so you can use LVM snapshots to back things up. Also, you'll have the option of moving storage around between logical volumes. Really, it's pretty straight-forward if you use the installer. There are respective buttons in the disk configuration wizard, if you click them they will step you through your options. - Ben
