I've tried Ubuntu about a year ago, but it didn't support any RAID nor LVM configurations in installation stage, so I went back to Fedora, which has all those options.
I can't find much about this on ubuntu.com, but its "alternate" (text mode installer) download definitley used to support LVM and no doubt still does. I'm pretty sure it's based on Debian's installer, which apparently does also support RAID.
I installed Debian with RAID + LVM at the text installer stage many times. One can install almost any RAID + LVM mix directly with the installer. No problem since many years, but I always use ReiserFS, even for /boot. I also use RAID1 instead fo RAID5.
My home server : * hda1, hdc1 : /boot, selected by the BIOS * hda2 + hdc2 : RAID1 + LVM, for system FS (/, /var, /usr, etc) * hda3, hdc3 : bare swap * hda4 + hdc4 : LVM (/home, /backup) * hdb1 + hdd1 : LVM in stripped mode (/video)
My hosting servers have similar setups, with DRBD in the game (network RAID1).
