Don't get me wrong - of course Debian (woody) will
recognize the controller and IIRC even the
raid-partitions.
But there are no tools for you (which exist for Linux
software-raid) which help you to monitor the raid-devices,
to add or remove partitions, etc.
In our tests pulling the plug of one of the two disks did
result in a crash of the box (same with Linux
software-raid). There is no automatic re-synchronisation
etc.
Go with Linux software-raid - trust me.
