It may then be time to re-evaluate that perception.

It's just too simplistic to blow off a packaged amanda, especially when 
there are possible support issues involved. It's possible that someone 
following Gene's advice may find that their Red Hat Network setup is 
compromised, for example. And not everybody *has* the luxury of being 
able to compile from source.

http://people.redhat.com/rkearey/amanda.spec is the current spec file, 
feel free to have a look.

Note: Not speaking for Red Hat here, nor am I the amanda package 
maintainer - just a satisfied user thereof.
