You can use rdesktop from terminal.

If you just type rdesktop you will get all the options it provides (oddly it has no man entry on my system).

An example of usage:

rdesktop -u username -g 100% -PKD 192.168.1.50

In this example -u is user and -g is screen size. You can do cool things like pass a resolution and other stuff. All the explanation is shown to you if you enter rdesktop without any arguments.

@alci Remmina have a bug with the sound through RDP – Jul 16 '15 at 14:05
@gsi-frank then grdestop might be what you want. apt-get install gredesktop – alci Jul 17 '15 at 09:45
