Hello, Daniele!

Our company have been using the rdesktop for more than 4 years on more
than 700 thin clients. The thin client software was custom developed
and based on GNU/Linux, X.org and rdesktop as its major parts. Almost
all rdesktop subsystems are used - drive redirection (heavily),
printer redirection (rarely) and smartcard redirection (the latter is
somewhat fragile). RDP servers are Microsoft Windows 2003.

Several problems in keyboard layouts were fixed (AltGr etc), although
the patches could be somekind controversial from authors' point of
view, thus weren't submitted.

Everyday IT administration tasks are done using rdesktop as well.

Best regards,
