[SlugLUG] Re: Sluglug Digest, Vol 2, Issue 1

[Linh Hoang]

I bought supertrack 6000sx and used it under freebsd as a pst device.
It's not as good as I thought. Actually it's pretty slow and it can't
be a bootable drive. I am tempted to wipe out fbsd and run with linux
to see if that would improve anything. 

Do you know if any linux distribution comes with software raid beside
fedora? What I meant is when you pop in a CD and install linux, it gives
you an option of doing software raid right that moment so that the software
raided partition can be booted up right way instead of hacking around
by installing on one non-software raided and copy them to the software
raided partition. Thanks for your help :)
