use rdesktop/RDP, it only responds locally to cntrl-alt-enter and a magic
pixel depending on how you compile it. Everything else like cntrl alt
delete goes to the remote machine. Plus it is a lot faster/prettier than
vnc with compression, and more reliable/faster than things like
citrix.(just without some of the functionality of things like citrix)

I set something like this up with solaris and sun rays. But for a few
hundred clients to a 2k3 terminal server.

Fedora has a package, but http://rdesktop.sf.net is the site.
