If you're able to get the RAID set up through Ubuntu's setup (or if it's a hardware RAID) and then get Ubuntu installed, that's a good start (: Now, as for copying everything over... you /could/ get everything installed with the sime filesystem design, and then boot from Ubuntu's live CD, mount all the filesystems and just bulk-copy everything over. Another option is to finish the installation, just copy your home directory over (that should have all your configuration files etc), and then use apt-get or synaptic or whatever the GUI version is to install any programs you have missing. That's probably a bit safer. Is that what you're looking at doing? -Yaron --
