<pre wrap="">Well Ive now installed Fedora Core 1 in a software raid configuration.
(100 meg boot and then a 30 gig partition split over two hard disks,
plus a swap part).
I have to say, it was MUCH easier than I expected. Did I get a massive
speed increase? Well maybe not massive but certainly noticable.
Which are the built in tools for checking disk performance by the way ??
Many thanks to everyone who replied to my original question.

I hope I don't need to be the one to tell you that RAID 0 over two disks
doubles your risk of data loss... if one disk goes you loose everything.
If you have more hardware, try RAID 5 for performance and security.

Yeah I do realise that. Looks like I might be adding a third hard disk
at some point in the future. <br>
