Hi Jack,

Thanks, I learnt something today :)

The primary reason why I want RAID-1 is so I don't lose the users' 
personal files and all the software configuration I've made (DHCP 
server, LTSP, user accounts, etc).

I admit I don't see the advantage of using removable media for boot.

Cheers,
Daniel.
