Remotely administer a UDS server with a non-web-based, X-based GUI and 
therefore you need an Xserver on Windows. xrdp is probably better given 
that rdp is way faster than X or if we are going to install something on 
a Windows workstation to remotely administer a UDS server, just use 
freenx. Think mom and pop shop.
