This describes how to use your RPi as a remote terminal to a Windows machine. It assumes that the Widows machine has Remote Desktop installed and enabled.

Firstly, install the remote desktop package on you RPi:

sudo app-get install rdesktop

Haveing installed the remote desktop on the RPi the remote machine is accessed by something such as the example below

rdesktop -x:l -r sound:remote hostname

hostname can be replaced by an IP address

For a list of option see

man rdesktop

The example above indicates that the remote machine is on a LAN, i.e. -x:l gives maximum bandwidth and that the sound is to be left on the remote machine.
