I don't have any experience with software RAID. Can I do this during the normal CentOS (4) setup or can I even do this later (when there's only one disk and I add another one)?
Yes and yes.
Does it make a difference performance-wise? (slight drop?)
In theory, yes, but I never noticed any.
Is it reliable, so that it will fulfill on the purpose or should I better forget it?
Yes, it is reliable.
I'm certainly willing to read a How-To or other documentation, but since it's completely new to me I'm not really sure where to start searching.
Then you should do it at install time. It is fairly straightforward.
Doing it after 1 HD is already started is possible and, once you learn to do it, easy. But it will take you some time to catch all the tricks, so install time is my recomendation.
