Thanks for the response!

I went with F7 as i had someone experienced with it assisting me in setting up 
my server, and at this point i have enough stuff on this server that it 
wouldn't be very easy to change to a different OS.

With regards to the specific 'how to' guide i posted a link to that i had been 
using, i made it through that guide up to the point of editing the changer.conf 
file and commenting out 4 specific lines in the /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx 
file. I believe my confusion lies in trying to figure out what is done in that 
guide that is specific to using a tape changer, instead of a single tape drive. 
I could probably make my way through it all, but it's been a lot for me to wrap 
my head around, and decided to look for a guide thats a bit closer to my 
situation.
