Thanks

You should be able to see it in the Packet Manager, so just select and install.

TS Client is also on there which I am going to try out.

*Edit - Seems you cant install either, seems to be conflict and dependincies issues.
** Edit - I managed to get Rdesktop installed using Yum install rdesktop, not been able to get it to work yet though.

 

OK, Got it installed via the packet manager. It's a command line tool though so have to start it from terminal with:

rDesktop hostname

 

I installed rdesktop and have fully functional access to the Terminal Server running Windows Server 2003 at my workplace. I need to toggle CTRL-ALT-ENTER to get screen to fit.
I got details below from Linpus about how to set this up from Terminal Screen:
Steps:

1. Press "alt+F2" keys and type "terminal" to open up a terminal mode

2. Type "sudo yum install rdesktop" to install the software

3. At terminal mode, type "rdesktop" to display the help screen for reference.

I then launched redesktop from terminal mode adding the IP address to get to the server log on.

I then have full access to Windows software installed on the server.
