Ditto for Red Hat, and probably all other GNU/Linux distros.
I think the main problem is that Amanda's nomenclature of client and
server is exactly contrary to the typical expectations of
client-server applications, which makes people install amanda-server
expecting to get some daemon that will let them backup a certain
machine, but that's actually in the amanda-client package. It even
took a while for the GNU/Linux distros figure out what to put on each
package. Red Hat 7 was the first one I saw that got it right.
