Gnome-RDP is a great tool for the linux desktop if you make remote connections to other PCs on a routine basis. It supports RDP, SSH, and VNC connections. Once you set up the connections, it stores the settings in a database. Then, you can easily connect to them with just a simple click.
Here are some screenshots so that you can see what it does and what it looks like before you use it.
Here is the main window. From here, you can add new connections or change the settings for an existing connection. If you double click on a connection, it will open it.
Once you start Gnome-RDP, you should see an icon by your clock. If you click on the icon it will bring up the main window. If you right click on the icon, it will display a shortcut menu for you to launch the desired connection.

Pete,
Gnome-RDP is just a GUI to launch other programs that would allow you to access other computers. Gnome-RDP works with one of the following programs:
rdesktop:
http://www.rdesktop.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rdesktop
ssh:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell
vnc:

In all three cases, you need to setup to router to allow access to the computer that you want to access.
