I changed the subject since that question should be in a new thread.
Anyway, VNC and RDP have the same general goals, to show a desktop of
one machine on another across a network.  That said, I know there are
RDP clients in Linux and I think there are RDP servers for Linux and I
know there are VNC servers and clients for Windows, so they aren't
specifically tied to one OS.  I like tightVNC for windows, and
grdesktop as a nice, graphical RDP client for Linux.

Hope this answers your question.
