Not terribly familiar with ArchAssault.  In fact, I had no idea they were
using the MeshDeck or 4Deck (not that I have any problems with that).  I
will say that Kali admits that it doesn't work well on the BBB.  This is
because it is just a straight port of an Intel based system.  The Deck was
meant to run on the ARM platform from the start.  It offers a lot more when
it comes to things like scripted attacks.  It is also meant to be used in
an environment where downloading new packages is difficult.  That is why it
includes over 4k packages from the start.  Also, don't know what desktop
Kali uses, but I'm using LXDE which is pretty lightweight.  The Deck runs
on my 7" 4D systems touchscreen with no issues.
