freeRDP (Remort Desktop Protocol)

FreeRDP:

FreeRDP - a Linux cmd line tool that supports RemoteApp & RemoteFX protocols. You can visit this freeRDP Websit(http://www.freerdp.com/).

WinConn:

WinConn - a GUI front-end to FreeRDP.

There was recently released an open source GUI application that makes running RemoteApps via FreeRDP almost too simple.

This application is called WinConn.

WinConn simplifies creation, management and desktop integration of remote windows applications in Ubuntu.  WinConn uses RemoteApp technology, implemented by the FreeRDP Project to provide a seamless user experience with Windows Applications on your Ubuntu system.

Each RemoteApp application runs in its own “window” on your Ubuntu Desktop.

This means the RemoteApp application can be used like any other locally installed Ubuntu application, without bringing the full windows desktop to the user.

You can download WinConn from the website:     http://stanev.org/winconn/

RemoteApp?

RemoteApp enables you to make programs that are accessed remotely through Remote Desktop Services appear as if they are running on the end user's local computer. These programs are referred to as RemoteApp programs.

RemoteFX:

Microsoft RemoteFX is a Microsoft brand name that covers a set of technologies that enhance visual experience of the Microsoft-developed remote display protocol Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).[1] RemoteFX was first introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
