[luau] Upgrading servers

[Brian Chee]

Hi folks:
I'm looking at someday soon building two new servers....

1.    Apache server with other nice doodads, but needs RAID 1 for
reliability.
2.    NFS/Samba server with lots of fast RAID 5 disks.

What RAID controllers are people using now, and is SATA something worth
moving towards? All my previous servers have been LVD2 and cost a kings
ransom or fiber channel and cost even more. I'm trying to create some ultra
reliable servers (disk wise) that won't kill my entire budget.

I'm looking at going all Fedora...
