I am using Postgresql 9.0 with its native replication and continous archiving. As per my understanding the primary and secondary communication via log files for continous archiving and direct postgres engine to engine communication for replication. These should not be a problem since I can use the pgadmin_III in Windows to perform transaction in the postgresql database residing on RedHat. Please clarify.

WAL replication won't work between different OS'es, and between
different arches. It even won't work between different Linux flavors.
You need to use a replication solution, like Slony.
