In our company we have a lot of thin clients running linux software and also linux RDP (RDESKTOP ver 1.6). As we have reseltly upgraded our Citrix servers to Windows server 2008 (without citrix) and everything works perfectly on notebooks and workstations but our thin clients running linux RDESKTOP version 1.6 we can not very easily logon on to our TS-broker farm because linux RDESKTOP ver. 1. Download Avg. 6 does not support that. This results in double or triple or more logons before the thin client actually connects with lots of frustration for the users.

As no one out there seems to do anything about this i think it would be a good sales trick for Microsoft to make their own RDP client for linux witch is compliant with RDP 6.1. The sales trick is not to support linux but to encourge companies (big and small) to start using Windows server 2008 with all its facilities in stead of hanging on to windows server 2003. Hope somebody at Microsoft reads this..:-). This is one of the problems when using a non-Windows client OS, that you are limited to what the open source developers have added to the rdp client, in this case rdesktop.

At Quest we had this same problem, but have since created our own version of rdesktop that is RDP 6.x compliant, and has our own virtual channel extensions for USB, multimedia, passthru authentication, microphone. You could do the same, but this required a lot of development time, or you could continue to use solutions from Microsoft Partners like Quest & Citrix to fill the gaps.

Have you released your versjon anywhere? It sounds great that somebody actually have developed their own version of rdesktop which is RDP 6.x compliant.
