Linux has worked with raid of all configurations--0,1,5,6,10,50, and 60 at least for (at least) the last 10 years. That's not a problem.

SSD isn't a problem since it's presented as just another drive.

Display configuration isn't a problem, since it won't be overwritten, and your given is that it's currently working.

Red Hat works the same way. One command, and you're upgraded. I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time with the concept.

I run 12.04 on a desktop utilizing 2 OCZ SSDs and 4 monitors on two nVidia GeForce GTX460 cards in SLI mode over DVI-D. There’s no problem with anything. I play Minecraft on it and use it for email, web browsing, and banking.

Laptop hardware should work just the same. There are manufacturer/OEM drivers available for a majority of the laptop mfgs out there.

Put Ubuntu on a USB drive and do a Live boot from it on your machine just to see how it runs. You don’t have to commit to reformatting or buying an expensive SSD for it if you don’t want to.
