RAID Setup Assistance

Howdy, list,

I recently acquired a new (to me) server: 

Dual Pentium II 300 CPUs
512 MB RAM
Mylex DAC960 RAID controller
AIC-7990 SCSI controller
5 IBM DDRS-39130W (9GB) disks

I intend to make it my primary server, but I don't have the faintest
idea how to configure the RAID stuff. I've installed a minimal
Slackware 9.1 on it and booted it, so it's accessibly via my internal
LAN, but beyond that, I haven't done anything with it. I'm not even
sure how to determine what the current RAID configuration is. So,
while I read up on the controller and RAID in general, I'm open to
suggestions.

Thanks,

Kurt
