How to remote into a windows server running VNC with Ubuntu 10.10

Like many, I have a Windows server 2003.  As we know, there's no Windows Remote Desktop software native to linux, so we have to make due with VNC.  Can't connect?  Here's what you're doing wrong.




Sometimes this doesn't work (you can find this at Application -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer).  Just use this argument via command line:
rdesktop -u username -g 1024x768 servernameorip
That's it!  Enjoy :)
