you should only do if you know *exactly* what you are doing. Given that
a RAID card is quite cheap now it would seem that software RAID is a
poor choice for the user who has better things to do than wrestle with
the configuration of software RAID.

+GerwinVanDeSteeg's opinion:
+
+Finding the correct RAID card for your distribution can also be tricky.
+Software RAID is not too difficult to manage depending on your choice of
+distribution. Some of the more "user friendly" distros (Read RedHat,
+Fedora) come with an install process capable of installing the machine
+on a SoftwareRaid ensuring there is no fuss whatsoever.
+I've setup many systems with SoftwareRaid and HardwareRaid and found that
+if you've got the wrong card or driver things don't always work the way
+you want.
