tar xf rdesktop-1.1.0.tar
cd rdesktop-1.1.0
./configure
make
make install

Then, to connect to Terminal Services on your Win2K server:

rdesktop 1.2.3.4 &

(substitute 1.2.3.4 for the IP of the server, or add a name/IP to your

The "&" puts the process in the background so you can continue typing in
your console.
