Careful with that Promise IDE RAID card. They are only supported for Red Hat 6.2/7.0/7.1 (not 7.2). If you plan on rolling your own OS or going with something other than RH, then you might be stuck using software raid (which the promise card is anyway -- it's not a true hardware raid implementation). The software RAID in Linux works great. I have a file server at work that has been going strong for about 3 years now using software RAID.
