Yup, my thoughts exactly, and Linux software raid works *very* well. Even
pretty
serious problems can be fixed without data loss IME.
However, I do find it's better to partition all three drives with a small
boot
partition at the start on which raid 1 mirroring is used. You just need to
make
sure grub is on all the drives, and away you go. I did this on the very
first
Linux install I ever did, so it isn't particularly hard.
Liunux is massively better to have on a home server than Windows and it's
free!
