[Halld] VNC gluon47->gluon48

[David Lawrence]

Hi All,

  For those of us running VNC sessions on gluon47, you may have noticed some annoying unannounced reboots
that wipe out your session. The short of it is, the memory is being exhausted on the machine which is used for
some RAM hungry monitoring tasks. I am looking into increasing the RAM on that machine to help ameliorate
that problem. For the VNC sessions, I am going to suggest you switch to using gluon48 instead. The downside
is gluon48 is RHEL7 and the default desktop environment (gnome3) may not have the features you are used to.
I have made a post to describe how to use KDE instead:

Independent of the desktop system, I would suggest that everyone migrate over to gluon48 for VNC sessions
which should be more stable.

Regards,
-David
