Installing the latest gnome-rdp in Fedora

I like gnome-rdp because it's simple and supports ssh, vnc, and rdp all in one client.

Prereq's: mono, docky

Use which to determine if you have these installed. For example, "which mono". If none is found, install with "yum install mono".

Download gnome-rdp 0.3.0.9-1.

Install with: "rpm -ivh gnome-rdp-0.3.0.9-1.noarch.rpm".

Updates in this version: You can now hit enter instead of having to click OK when typing passwords. Group functionality is getting better, but you cannot delete them once created. A session can only exist in one group at a time. Still no sorting of sessions.

---Old Versions---
gnome-rdp 0.3.0.1-2

Hints for this version: You must add at least one Identity and one Profile prior to adding a Session, and then click to select them when you do add a Session. Groups are still not really working, nor can you sort the Session list.

   perl Makefile.PL; make; make install
   yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
   yum install rpmdevtools

4. su back to your normal user

   cd ~; rpmdev-setuptree

5. To convert (must be root):
