Many companies now would love to move their infrastructure to GNU/Linux for cost reasons, but are unable to shift their line-of-business Windows applications over. Rdesktop is an open-source (GPL) program that allows users to connect to a remote desktop on a Windows platform. Rdesktop gives companies an easy way to move applications onto a terminal server (or even a single Windows XP PC, depending on whether more than one person at a time needs to use them) and do the rest of their computing from the stability and security of a GNU/Linux workstation.
