whats the point

Im looking for an alternative for Freenas as Freenas seems not to support the spin down of my new 2TB Segate drives, and i prefer the media to be stored on ext4 than ufs.
I tested Ubuntu server with samba + transmission abd then I found the Amahi express CD
The instal is ok...i still dont get the need of the install code + the fact i took me 15 min to get it ...
I finally managed to get it and install Amahi....and i got really dispointed.
None of the apps installed/worked correctly
The control panel has no real control options...which leaves me to believe that a monitor and a keyboard sooner or latter will be needed.
No energy savings options out of the box
nothing on HDD Array
An app store seems to prepare me that someday I will pay to use.
A portal that monitors (?) the machine
did i install the correct version? what is the point of this install if need to install a full OS and still i cannot make all the chages remotely? As it is i dont see the advantage over an ubuntu or server box with those apps managed over ssh....
Regards
