Hi everyone.

I would like to be able to allow my Linux users to connect to our Windows servers using Terminal Services. Is this possible? Is there a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services client for Linux? If so I'd really like to hear about it, as this will save us a lot of time and money

Cheers!

I've used rdesktop which is pretty good. It's included with some Linux distros so just open a terminal and run something like this:



If it's installed, you're sorted. If not, download and install it.

I've used rdesktop on an Asus EEE PC which was pre-installed but had to upgrade it, as it kept causing a segmentation fault and closing. It was OK but the screen was very small

Thanks guys, I managed to download and install RDesktop and it is brilliant! The only problem I came accross was not being able to minimise it, so they'll need to do what they need in RDesktop then logout to go back to Linux.

I know XP and linux can run on thin clients. I was thinking of using an XP Embedded thin client solely to use magicjack, while I would use Linux as main OS on my PC.

Sorry, but I don't know if that thin client would work for XP. I would bet money that it will, though.

Update: I found a PDF file stating this:
Flash disk (C:)
The XPe thin client contains a Flash memory-based file system where the operating
system and local application files are stored. The Flash drive is protected at all times,
except when the local Administrator is logged on.

So, you can use a thin client on it's own, without a server.
