Software RAID on Linux

Several years ago I wanted to use software RAID to creat a mirrored disk
(RAID 1), but the Redhat setup would only allow partitions to be
duplicated. Further, the boot partition could not be mirrored. As / was
my boot partition, my setup was still susceptible to the failure of a
single drive. I could, and did, mirror my /home partition to preserve my
data in case of a failure. I am re-examining software RAID today because
a bottom-of-the-line Dell server has *waaay* more juice than I need to
run a mail and Web server. Can I use software RAID to create an exact
duplicate of a drive- a true mirror?
