rdesktop is in extras-development and I should say *DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER* before you go installing things from extras-devel. You install applications from there at your own risk. Also I have no idea that it works with Vista. I've only used it with XP SP3.

That said, I've used rdesktop located there and it worked pretty well aside from the occasional mysterious disconnects. Again, if it screws something up don't go blaming the rdesktop guys, me, your Aunt Agatha, etc.
