NT and Linux

[King Lee <king@ultrix6.cs.csubak.edu>]

Hello,

I got into a discussion with a system administrator of
a website.  The system administrator wishes  to use
NT because it supports software raid 5 (raid without
a special controller). I thought if it works, 
there  would be a terrible performance
degradation. The system administrator said only 
if a disk goes down would there be a performance hit.

Does anyone here know anything about
The questions I have are 

   1.   Has anyone here had any experience or knowledge
	about software raid. How good is it?
   2.   Does Linux  support hardware raid 5

I think this guy is looking for an excuse not to use
Linux.
