Since we are talking about my needs, and you mention vnc, its now part of 
the latest raspian download, which I didn't have yet, but the iso is 
trickling in now. It is not part of the odroids ubtuntu-16.04 LTS 
install so I'll have to see about how to acquire the free home version.

That assumes that it can function in the presence of a x server on the 
droid whose listen function is turned off, presumably by removing the 
code.  Can it?

Thanks.
