Software RAID5

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Hi all

Hoping to get some help setting up software RAID5. Guides on the  
internet seem to be few and far between, and official documentation  
is a little too technical. Basically I have 3 x 500GB hard drives  
which I'd like to have in a raid5 configuration, using software, root  
partition on their too would be a bonus. I'd be grateful for assistance.

Best regards

Gabriel
