RDP Client for ubuntu?

[Randy Cole]

You may find a problem that your Ubuntu client will only connect for 30 
days to the terminal server.  This is due to Windows licensing 
requirements.  I think there are two ways to license if I remember 
correctly - number of connections on the terminal server, or per 
client.  Windows clients come with a built-in client license for RDP, 
but surprise, Ubuntu doesn't!  I believe the server grants a 30-day 
grace period if the client is unlicensed.  As a workaround, you can vary 
the username used to connect - you can change then change it on the RDP 
login screen.  Or purchase the correct licenses from Microsoft for 
either the server or the Ubuntu client!
