[lug] RAID installation on Fedora 6 Zod

[User Dan Ferris]

I was saying Linux software RAID is harder compared to Solaris software 
RAID and FreeBSD's software RAID because it's much harder to set it up after 
the OS is installed.  With metainit and gmirror you can create arrays 
without dealing with copying things from disk to disk.
