Not really.. Would they be able to mirror the boot partition?
The client agreed to pay for the RAID card. It would cost the client more 
to have me learn how to use software RAID that it cost him to get the 
card.. not to mention it will be easier to manage. :-)

Thanks for the feeback though.. I would be curious as to what can NOT be 
done through software RAID(ie if it can not protect the boot partition).
