Yup yup - 2k, XP and 2003 only for software RAID. You also won't be able to
mount those drives under linux, even though they're really NTFS (at least
you couldnt last time I tried, they may have progressed with it now). 9x is
most definitely not supported.
If you're looking at non NT based OSes, go for hardware, its a universal
thing. The controller presents the OS just a big single disk, so any OS can
use it, in theory.
