Samba is there for users that don't know linux enough, and they can put files on the system from a windows machine with the least effort.

Not one single thing is mentioned of there being a GUI. It states "Boots to a text menu system". I have NO plans to add the extra GUI junk to the default system. If someone want's a fancy GUI, then go install some other linux distro and then add FS-UAE.
The aim of AmiDeb is to be as sleek as possible, and not have the extra processing power that a GUI plus all it's crap ensures.

That is what I was aiming AmiDeb at. Amulator was/is a great way of doing it, but it was very limited. I wanted to have a machine that could be updated, and customized. A machine that booted right into the Amiga environment (I added the menu system as a stepping stone)...
When I sort out some other things going on here, I'll be moving my current Amiga based bbs of Amilhlon to AmiDeb.
