Review
Because it is based on Ubuntu, it does not follow the traditional Linux standard. There are better small distributions. To create a simple console controlled Samba file server with this distribution turned out to be more headache than it was worth.
Console: Post Install Configuration
Networking from Console
DNS servers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf
Network configuration should be in /etc/network/interfaces however, the file seems to be ignored.
- unresolved
Samba is discussed in Linux CIFS Utils and Samba and Linux CIFS Utils and Samba. Samba shares are configured in /etc/samba/smb.conf
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
Use 'testparm' to check for errors in smb.conf
testparm smb.conf
