One of my clients is planning to upgrade their network, and I'm pricing MS (Terminal services + a whole n/w of new desktops + licenses - ouch). What I want to do is put Linux on all the old desktops, and have graphical access to 1 windows machine - what can I run on Linux that will do this?
I know I can use VNC, but it's a bit clunky, especially since the 1 Windows app that the users need to access is their main app (which they use all day).
Anyone had experience with the Citrix ICA Client running on Linux? It looks promising.
Any other hints as to what I could use?

Try rdesktop - assuming you have Terminal Services. The negative of course is you still need a Windows licence per connection to terminal service (AFAIK).
You could consider BOCHS - PC emulator and running a windows inside that. Again, legally you need a licenced copy of windows per install.
