The description above of Amanda is nearly right, if you change the
word servers on the first line to systems. It works perfectly well with
desktops, less well with laptops but still can be used.
There are clients for Amanda which will work on all the systems you
name, and the server (last time I looked) had to run on Linux so you are
in good shape.
