 The rdesktop package provides command-line functionality for RDP connections. There is a gtk based frontend for the redesktop package called grdesktop, which is what we will focus on here.

 NX is a free, open-source remote display suite founded by the good folks at http://www.nomachine.org . Client ports exist for all major operating systems, but the server portion is currently for Linux only. NX functions in basically the same way RDP does, except in the fact that it uses ssh for its tunneling rather than a distinct protocol using the default RDP port, 3389.
   '''$''' sudo emerge -av nxclient
 As with the rdesktop client, you can access the nx client via the same area of your menu.
