An excellent resource to find repositories for specific applications is: http://www.gronmayer.com/it/ Browse to that URL from your tablet, select the OS version you want(e.g. OS2008), search for the application(e.g. rDesktop) and add the repositories from the search result. You should then be able to install the application from Application Manager. John, try downloading and installing from here: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/rdesktop/

It works wonderfully (far better response than using VNC)... sometimes. When I connect, 1 out of 5 times it works, the other 4 times the white window (with the connection settings) disappears, and nothing happens. The same thing happens when the N800 has been in power saving: sometimes I get the rdp back, most of the times I get a white window and the rdesktop icon next to it. When I connect with my portable to the home computer, it works great. One (or another) thing that is rather strange: I do not use a domain, but a workgroup. No matter what I put in the connection setting for 'domain', (workgroup name, pc name, nothing at all) I can connect using my portable. This is also the case with the N800, but still only about 1 times out of 5. If I change the setting for domain just before connecting, I have the impression I have more chance of getting a connection, but this may be a coincidence. Does anyone have an idea, i'm a little bit confused here...
