We have some codebar scanners based on Windows CE that run remote applications located on some servers via Windows Terminal Service.

Given that we are migrating our server applications to UNIX based operating systems, I was wondering is there any reliable RDP based solution that can be considered ?

Thanks,

Not RDP, there is X-windows. it's not like terminal services, but it might solve your problem (the app runs on the server, only the graphics on the client).

You run the app on the server, and re-route the display to your device.

This sounds convincing but one subtle confusion, will it still be portable to use over Windows ?

vnc is the main unix alternative for a graphical session other than that you could run some commands over ssh.

VNC and NX are the two things that perform the same functionality as RDP.
