There was a recent discussion on linux-kernel on why software raid is
better for you. To sum up: you aren't locked into a single vendor's
metadata format, and most hardware raids just end up doing software
raids anyway. See the archives or kernel traffic for the details.

That's one way of doing it. Another, albeit twisted way, is to install
another system e.g. RedHat, on a small partition, and then convert the
system to debian on the fly. Other suggestions?
