Linux on IDE RAID?
Hey folks,
I"m looking for a flavor of Linux that will handle dual booting on IDE RAID. Thus far, SuSe, Redhat (the old version before they made it all "Corporate" edition and Mandrake don't do what I'm looking for. Some of them will install, but they warn that they're going to wipe the drive. Anyone got any info?
Perseverance in all matters.

Any of those you mentioned should be able to do it. The reason it is probably warning that they will wipe the drive is because there is no unpartitioned space, thus Linux wants to partition it for you. In a case like this (and depending on what OS you are dual booting) you should be able to use fips to resize the partitions and then install Linux but you will want to manually partition and not let Linux (such as red hat) do automatic partitioning since it generally will use the whole drive. It would be easier to answer if there were specifics such as raid level,raid controller,os to dual boot besides Linux etc..
