You have a Terminal Server Client wich can connect using both RDP or VNC
protocol.

On Windows you'd be better of with Remote Desktop (or Terminal Services,
if aplicable). 

On Ubuntu, RDP-ing to Windows hosts works great (but not excellent! - I
sometimes have key-jams, or, ctrl and arrow keys won't work - I still
use vncviewer because of that). VNC is usualy slow.

You could check the FreeNX project. I played with it a bit, and it seems
to be working realy great.
