I ain't hardly a dorkus.
What is a good PCMCIA wireless card, that is supported out-of-the-box in Linux (2.6 kernels) without additional firmware, and can do WPA / WPA2? I'm trying to find one for my laptop. 802.11b is fine.

What are people's opinions on running a software RAID 5 on Linux with mdadm? I'm building a new server after my current file server is marching towards deaths door and my web/misc server is now the oldest PC in the house.

I did this for a year on my Athlon 64 computer, using the onboard Sil3114 controller and (4) 320GB drives. I didn't have any problems/corruption. I would suggest the XFS file system, since it preserves the most free space and is fast and stable: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388
