I have no problem whatsoever in setting up RAID-10 and LVM from the
Debian Lenny installer.  I've only done servers with it so far
though, so while having seen the encrypt option I haven't yet tried
that bit.

Agree that Ubuntu is probably a nicer experience for desktops though.

Cheers,
Andy

The encryption part from the installer works fine too. Have done RAID1+LVM+LUKS though not sure I posted here - might have been in a reply to the original poster by mistake.

I did note down instructions for others so I will have a look through my sent box + post it here.

Off-topic but... subject is wrong? Anyone got any pointers about how the subject affects the mailing list archive?
