[arm-allstar] vncserver and hamvoip software

[ARM Allstar]

To use a VNC server one must install a GUI on the hamvoip.  This adds 
overhead to the system that you don't want.  Not only that, I can't 
think of a single reason to do it.  The stock interface is more than 
adequate.  It still adds the need for an open port, and VNC is a far 
less secure protocol than SSH.

You can protect against brute force cracking attacks with a simple 
script, and/or by using your router to redirect the SSH port to 
something non-standard, placing it where few, if any, will be looking.  
I follow my logs periodically and I have never had an unwanted login 
attempt that survives for more than 3 tries.
