Question for all..........
I am looking at setting up a FC3 server on a Dell Poweredge 750 server
It is mainly going to be a mail server. However here is my ponder.
The machine has 2-80GB Serial ATA drives and a RAID card.

Does FC3 play nice with the serial ata raid stuff ?
Seems like I read something on the list about this awhile back, but I 
can't find it.
