!Hola, Héctor, y bienvenidos!

Sure; I do this all the time at work (job requirement, not personal 
choice).  The "rdesktop" command is what you want.  Say I have a server 
named "win2003box", with IP address 10.0.0.5, and domain name 
"mydistrict.edu".  Here's what you'd do:

  microman at multimedia:~$ rdesktop win2003box.mydistrict.edu &

You don't need that "&" at the end, but it gives you your terminal 
window back and keeps a somewhat cleaner desktop.  :-)

You can also do it by IP address, like so:

  microman at multimedia:~$ rdesktop 10.0.0.5 &

This works just fine, BTW, from the "Start" menu (the...well, "red hat" 
icon at the bottom left for Red Hat / Fedora based distributions).  Then

you don't need the "&".

Now, here's how I *actually* do it, since I want to take advantage of 
the new RDPv5 protocol's higher color resolution.  None of the extra 
switches are required; I just like 'em:

  microman at multimedia:~$ rdesktop -g 1024x768 -a 16 -u microman 
win2003box.mydistrict.edu

The "-g" means "geometry", or the "screen resolution" of your rdesktop 
session.  Since I run 1280x1024 on GNU/Linux, it makes sense for me to 
have a 1024x768 rdesktop session.  :-)  The default is 800x600.  The 
"-a" means "color bit depth", in this case, 16-bit color, or 65,536 
colors (default is 8-bit, or 256 colors).  The "-u" is your Windows 
username.  If you don't specify "-u", then your GNU/Linux username will 
be used by default.  Again, none of these extra switches are required.
