Essentially this doesn't matter, but see below.

Again, doesn't matter, I've used every linus kernel since forever, 
currently 2.6.16-rc2.

CentOS tar-1.14.* is known bad, I'm using 1.15-1 myself, with 1.13-25 
installed as a fallback available with a rebuild/reinstall of amanda, a 
6 minute job typically...

Using 2.4.5p1, most recent snapshot, no problems of note.  No experience 
with 2.5.0 yet here.  For reasons of controlling the configuration, I 
have never tried to use an rpm/deb of it, always built at least the 
server from tarballs.  However one recently added debian based client 
is running the debs of an older 2.4.4 with no problems.  YMMV, note the 
caps.

Again, it doesn't matter because you should be using tar, not dump.
But thats a personal opinion, some are using dump/restore, but tar gives 
you much more fine-grained control over what you are doing.

You're welcome, I hope this helps.
