[arm-allstar] Setting up allstar node on linux server

[David McGough]

Hi John,

The distros we've got are basically download, flash to SD card and go---a 
very, VERY much simpler process than an ACID install. However, we have the 
advantage of targeting (currently) only two hardware platforms--the 
Raspberry Pi 2 and Beaglebone Black.

So, if you're wanting to install on one of these $35 wonder boards (the 
RPi2 being preferred at this point), this distro is for you.  If you're 
wanting to install on a standard PC, as of now, this isn't the best place 
to start.

See the BBB and RPi2 installation instructions at: http://hamvoip.org
