I personally use krdc (Remote Desktop Connection), it's a KDE 
application so it may not appear in the menus if you use Gnome. It's a 
nice graphical and friendly app that supports both windows remote 
desktop and VNC protocols. It can also be launched from the command line 
by using kdrc

To install with windows RDP support type:

yum -y install kdenetwork rdesktop
