Yes, I've used RedHat for a few years and still like RH9.0 as a desktop machine. I could set RAID up easily on RedHat but I never really understood anything much about it, and especially how to manage, tweak, fix or monitor it later on. I've tried several distros out as the basis of a server project I'm working on and have found Slackware 9.1 to be the best all-round solution in terms of speed, stability and *overall* simplicity. I'm comfortable on the command line (the server has no GUI) and am actually keen to learn how to use the command line tools. When I get the process right, I'll simply script it as much as possible. :-) On Wed, 2004-03-31 at 12:36, Guy wrote:
I can't answer your question, but... RedHat 9.0 makes it real easy to configure RAID during the install. You can also configure LVM during the install if you want. So, no need to do these post-install things you now need to do. I am using RedHat 9.0 myself. I bet RedHat's Fedora is as easy.

Before I switch, I need to check one thing which isn't clear to me from the Software RAID HowTo: I currently have a separate partition (/dev/hda1) for /boot. Can this partition also be switched over to RAID1 (on /dev/md1) or must the /boot partition always be on a non-RAID device? RAID1 support appears to compiled into the Slackware bare.i kernel I am using. Autodetection on boot is working.
