[arm-allstar] Installing teamviewer on hamvoip allstar

[KD2NFC, Joe Puma]

I agree. Teamviewer and realvnc is meant to use if you have a GUI installed. But I get if you are already using teamviewer and have a lot of computers that you already use to access them with, then it makes sense to keep your remote access in one system.  Not everyone uses their raspberry pi for a dedicated allstar system either, they may run other things on it, like a GUI, so it’s totally understandable. And as time goes by and we get faster micro computers, which are already out there, running a GUI will be a moot point if performance is a concern. Personally I use ssh (winscp) on my allstar node and have gotten accustomed to using ssh so much that I now use ssh more on other raspberry pi’s that I have gui’s running on them. But like I said some systems I run programs in a GUI Terminal because I like the visual aid where I can take a quick look at the apps I have running without having to do much keying. For that system I like to connect with realvnc from other computers around the house or remotely. 

Use whatever suits your needs or skill level.
