I believe so. You just need rdesktop. I know it works with XP, but I don't have a Vista box to try it on.

You can install vnc-server on Linux (see some related info on usage), and then get a free VNC client for Windows. It's quite common. Works also the other way around (Windows the server, Linux the client).

Hi, it is possible. Just download putty on vista and you can connect to linux. you just need to know the hostname or ip address of linux machine to connect. All the best.
