Yes that was a bit purposefully incomplete. I wasn't sure what our longer term plans were for that? Is OpenSUSE going to be the place to go (I would guess that is the case)? If so, both these docs can be updated as well as hollandbackup.org directly. It's a bit confusing to get the right version right now, so I thought this might warrant some additional discussion. Another curiosity was EPEL. I know BJ was working on that but it's not in the repository yet (unless I missed it which is entirely possible :) ). If that's still in the works let me know what I can do to help with that. I'd much rather have the instructions say go to EPEL first (and say grab it from OpenSUSE for a development version or for an early adopter).

To avoid too much traffic on the list, I looked at your other suggestions and they are sensible so I'll make those changes today most likely.
