3Gig of RAM is plenty for an LL4 virtual OS. Should run just fine. SSH is not a resource drain on your server and you should consider it especially for LAN ethernet connections. If the client is Windows you just need an Xming server display to run a virtual Linux OS from qemu/kvm or gnome-boxes. Right now you're using RDP to connect which basically doubles the resource tax split between the client and host and can actually cause database slow writes in some applications which can lead to errors in the virtual OS. No matter how you do it, whatever protocol you use, the thing that gives you speed is putting the computation load on the host not the client. You can run single applications, not the whole OS with SSH X11 forwarding if the host has an installed DE and perhaps not even need a virtualized OS on the host. It's good that you're thinking about your setup and better ways to utilize your server. With Windows people generally tend to accept success as a setup that works. Linux people tend to not be satisfied until a setup is tweaked to fit their specific needs most efficiently. Best of luck to you and I hope you continue to enjoy and experiment with Linux Lite.
