Hi Charles, Thanks for the good work. I have a few comments:
* Written in C. should be: * Written in C and perl * Supports Kerberos 4 and 5 security, including encrypted dumps. should be: * Supports Kerberos 5 security, including encrypted dumps. Kerboros 4 is no longer supported. * Full backup acceleration: if Amanda calculates it has the tape space available it will make full backups early. This uses tapes more efficiently and reduces the number of tapes necessary for a restore. That's not completely true, amanda try to balance the size of full dump at each days. amanda promote DLE only if today's full size is smaller than (all dles full size / runspercycle) and all scheduled backup fits on tapes.

I'm attaching the last draft of the README. Dustin, you are welcome to commit it; it is at least an improvement. But I am left with a few questions... HP-UX is up to version 11; should we include that? I got responses on the versions of three systems (FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows) and edited the Linux version myself. But I got no feedback on others. If you work with one of the others, please check. Or maybe we should consider dropping some of these. E.g.: Linux on Alpha is probably moot. I used two examples of typical speeds some folks provided. I think I can collate all of them for the wiki, but not immediately. I added a reference to the Amanda Platform Experts: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Platform_Experts. Platform Experts might see that their entry is current. My thanks to everyone for the feedback. It made for a much better document.
