From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I did this yesterday for my media server on Debian and it was very easy. Use mdadm to create the raid. There are guides online on how that are very easy to follow. You may want to use partitions on the drives as another comment recommended (mdadm supports whole drives and partitions so do whatever you think is best). Next you should have a device /dev/mdX that you can format to your fs of choice. After that just use lsblk to get the uuid of the raid and mount it in fstab like any other drive.
