If you're after a Windows-thin-client Unix client, try the rdesktop RDP 
client, which ships with Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0 but runs on practically 
everything (including, I think, Windows with a suitable X driver). It has an 
interesting option which tells the Windows Terminal Server that rdesktop 
already has a licence...

Search for LTSP. Mandrake 9.0 ships with a similar (clustering and 
autoinstall) system which can be altered to be LTSPish as well.
