Adding a raid to my server - need some pointers

I've ordered two 1.5TB hard drives to place as a software RAID in my standalone server. I want to be able to expand the raid easily later on, which probably means converting from a RAID-1 to a RAID-5. I've read quite a bit now about this, but I'm still kind of confused. I'm reading that you need LVM to grow your RAID-5 without deleting the raid, but I'm also seeing how-to's that just use mdadm --add and --grow to accomplish this... If anyone can clarify this a bit for me, I would be most grateful.
