It will be a pretty busy mailserver. The price should be under 4K. I would like to have a hardware RAID, so this is my main question. The most important for us is problem-free install. This is kind of an emergency project and a lot of develpoment still has to be done, so we need something that will work out of the box. I would also appreciate pointers to some tutorials on how to setup a system with a hardware RAID. Would it be detected by install? Do I have to install on a regular disk first and then configure it to use RAID?
