Windows 2000 Terminal Services perform very well with RDESKTOP. There 
are some limitations tho' like only 256 colours on the clients, (no 
sound is an issue when using MS Terminal Srevices Client, I don't know a 
bout RDESKTOP).
Just remember that you'll need a Client Access License for every 
workstation that connect to your Win2K through RDP,even if they are 
Linux ones, runnning RDESKTOP.

IN Win2.003K the RDP specs have been changed to allow 24 bit colour and 
unfortunately that doesn't look very good in the latest stable of 
RDESKTOP. I've been told that the CVS version can handle it.
