It takes some tweaking. The command-line I'm using in a shortcut for my VMWare VM Win7 admin station is :
/usr/local/bin/rdesktop -d $domain -u $username -g 1270x972 -z -r sound:local -P -x l $hostname
Works pretty solidly. I had to compile a newer rdesktop since the one that comes with my distro is a bit old. Pretty snappy. Still not as snappy as talking ...

Check out Thinstation. I've used it in the past to create a CD bootable version for use in machines without hard drives. It's worth mentioning that I've come across two distinctly different systems with the name Thinstation.

I don't know any RDP client that would do that out of the box BUT ...
Some more advanced window managers allow you to tab any windows together. For example, Fvwm can do it with FvwmTabs. My advise is for you to try awesome and its tabulous module. It could with a bit of configuration tab multiples rdesktop windows into a single one.

What may actually be happening is that .bashrc is being run more than you think.
If it's run and there's no X screen or DISPLAY variable, rdesktop will fail and then the shutdown will run. @dimmer's fix should handle that, though there's a cleaner way.
It should work if you put the shutdown command after the startx command and put the rdesktop command in ...

Any of the major Linux distributions will have rdesktop as an available package, but if you don't have a lot of Linux experience, Ubuntu will probably be the easiest to install and provide the widest compatibility with hardware. You will just need to install grdesktop:
sudo apt-get install grdesktop
Then you can easily connect to the Windows box.

I would recommend that you store the password in a file and pass it to rdesktop through a pipe. That way, the password won't show up as an argument in the command line when running ps or similar.
cat secretfile | /usr/bin/rdesktop -N -x m -u Administrator -p - -d ...
To answer your question, however, simply quoting the argument may be enough to make it ...

Well, it's not perfect, but it's good enough for most needs, il particular if you use the latest version and mandate network-level authentication. You can make it even more secure by adding a gateway server that will tunnel connections through SSL and protect your internal machines. Further refinement would be to use certificate authentication for the ...

I'd recommend having a look at Puppy - in addition to having a very small footprint and supporting multiple boot media, the developers publish lots of information about creating customized boot images. Note that you may have to install a developer puppy (or other Linux) to compile xrdp on (I don't think its comes as a standard package).
Do have a look at ...

I came upon this after investigating various sources. Here's what I use:
rdesktop -u USERNAME -d DOMAINNAME -p - -g 1680x1050 -a 24 -z -x 0x80 -D -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -r sound:remote MACHINENAME
-x 0x80 will allow clear type tuning to work (see here) assuming you have Windows XP SP3, Vista or 7 as the server.
If you get a warning saying 24 bit ...

Yes, it's certainly possible. It has worked OOTB for Windows-to-Windows RDP sessions as long as I remember. However Linux support requires a little bit of hoop jumping.
Do you have the token functioning under Ubuntu already? If so, skip the first step.
eToken support under Linux is provided by OpenSC. PKCS#15 is the standard for communicating with ...

The Fedora project has some documentation that can help you out.
It boils down to installing a VNC server on the desktop you wish to view, and a VNC viewer on the desktop you wish to view it from. Fedora makes this easy with the "Desktop sharing" tool.
If you need to access a machine over the internet, make sure the necessary ports are open in the ...

Under the System pull down in Gnome, launch the Remote Desktop App, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop. From here check the allow other users to view your desktop. Also set the security and notification sections accordingly.
Once you're setup your Fedora system so that it will accept remote connections you can use a remote desktop client such as ...

It is generally the rdesktop performance which can be optimized using various options
Best suitable are rdesktop -f -z -P -x m -a 16 -r server:port
with -xl you are using lan option for -x, you could better use -xm
-P,-z and -x are mainly used to improve rdesktop perf.
If we use -a option and lower color depth, the message/warning for color depth ...
