This rdesktop software is awesome - its a terminal server client as it says - it works extreemly well over a switched lan - hardly any delay or screen redraw artifacts like you can see when using vnc. Of course you need an NT/2000 server (something I dont recomend unless youre fixated with legacy operating systems :) with the terminal server on it  - not a cheap option. But if you already have a terminal server in your environment and need occasional access to some non standards compliant propriety software then its quite cool. 

I use it once a month to use an awfull IE only time sheet entry system, and it saves me asking an unfortunate M$ user if I can use their computer. 

Its included on disk 3 of mandrake 8.2
