I never could find a definitive answer, so my comments are conjecture backed by reading the whitespace between the forum post lines. It appears Natty uses a new release of xorg's X server, and Nvidia hasn't released drivers compatible with it. I wouldn't mind so much if that fact had been stated up front, thereby saving me two days of misery trying to make it, nay anything do xinerama across two monitors. But alas, I wasted an entire weekend and wound up back on 10.04 anyway. I even tried the Nouveau driver, and I suppose it has potential, but it ain't ready for use yet. People who take single desktop/dual monitor capability for granted won't give (K)(X)Ubuntu a second chance.
My brother installed that piece of shit the day it came out, and he hasn't had use of his computer since. The "Geniuses" have installed with several different methods, and the thing is still a boat anchor. Every time he's been to the "Genius Bar" with it, he's had lots of company. There hasn't be a breath of negative press in the mainstream technical or financial news for the Leopard fiasco, and there probably won't be for this, either. I guess they can't report anything that might upend their darling little success story. Every day I thank God I run Linux.
I'd sure like to see an example of this somewhere, do you have a link? When I installed Mandriva Winter '06 it used one of the (x)parted partitioners, and I could find no provision for setting up RAID in there.
Sawmill is an excellent package. It's easy to configure, has nice drill-down features and great reporting. I'm not associated with the vendor, just a satisfied user.

Ah, I stand corrected. Can you set up RAID with it?

What I mean is being able to set it up at installation time from within the default installer partitioning tool, not manually post installation.
It looks to me like there is still no provision for mirroring the root disk at install time. Bleck!
