Open Thinclinet could be an alternative too.

>       * Thinlinc is very polished. It functions very well to deliver a
>         complete desktop originating from a remote server
>       * Server works out of the box on all Linux distributions I have
>         tried (RHEL 6&7, Scientific Linux 6, Debian, Fedora 22)
>       * There are clients for Linux, Mac and Windows. All work well
>       * Sound works right out of the box
>       * Thinlinc does a great job of streaming multimedia
>       * persistant sessions when you disconnect and reconnect
>       * automatic resizing of the screen when you switch to a
>         different computer
>       * Web-based client for server-end configuration
>       * traffic between client and server is encrypted
>       * Thinlinc is actively developed by Cendio, and they have good
>         support, including an active discussion group.
