With all this new talk and tech about streaming things, from the Wii U gamepad and nVidia Shield to SteamOS, has there been ANY general remote desktop software that uses the same kind of tech? I want to be able to edit videos or work on 3D modeling from an old laptop upstairs connected via ethernet or wifi. (Ethernet being the obvious preference for high bandwidth and low latency. I'd like support for non-gigabit Fast Ethernet too, although chances are it won't be able to decode the video stream in real time, who knows.)
Perhaps I've missed something obvious here, but all I've noticed is that there's a giant elephant in the room getting ignored when it comes to all the new H.264 streaming tech. I hope this kind of tech can replace the old fashioned way of remote desktop software, which is unsuitably slow for any kind of 3D or video applications.

His post isn't useful even if you know what he's talking about.

And screen actually *is* a pretty nifty piece of software.

It serves a different (though complementary) purpose. It allows a single SSH (or other terminal) session to control multiple virtual terminal windows. It has some nifty features, like the ability to detach sessions and leave them running in the background after you log out; you can re-connect to the existing sessions at a later time.
The rather lengthy man page for screen actually lists the following in the "BUGS" section:man page for screen wrote:A weird imagination is most useful to gain full advantage of all the features.
