List,

We have a RH box that currently runs IDE drives. I am hoping to upgrade to
RAID (never done so on *nix, but have with the dark side) and was looking
for recommendations or advice on which cards to use. Currently checked out
DPT (RH 5.2 support) and Adaptec (no mention of Linux support).

This box will become our major fileshare and I would like to Raid5 with
18.2Gb drives. Any comments welcome.

Thanks,
