NT4-like disk fault tolerance availability


I'm looking at replacing an NT4 system with a linux box (probably Debian) which will require pseudo RAID-1 type disk mirroring. Is there any standard capability (similar to NT4's fault-tolerance activated from the Disk Administrator utility) or additional software to provide this for a couple of IDE drives? Please note that I'm after near real-time mirroring (ie not cron running dd or some such). Thanks in advance.
