I'm carrying around my Linux laptop now and I need to access a Windows
Server to be able to do work for my job. What's the recommended Linux
program?
Also here's the kicker. At work we have a Linux server as well and we
use Tigerterm to access it. How do I get into that server from my
Linux laptop?
Thanks,
Brad.

Any RDP client will do.

With Tigerterm, I guess. Though I don't seem to find the reason one
would use that instead of SSH.

As Nikos said, any RDP or VNC client will do. That depends on how the server
is setup of course.
Typically Windows workstations such as 2003 or 2008 have remote desktop
(rdp) setup already.
Of course, you'll need the IP addy and a valid login.
I use it all the time to connect to my various machines at work.

On the flip side I tend to use NXClient to connect to my linux machines.

Konsole?
Any terminal program will do. Tigerterm is just a terminal emulator for
Windows, like PuTTY or Rumba. However, their site appears to be down.
In any case, you can ssh or telnet into any linux server from any linux
console.

We use here tightvnc ([url]http://www.tightvnc.com/[/url] , which also allows you to
run a low-overhead desktop manager. Easy install and crossplatform so also
windows users can work with the server running the desktop.

I use OpenSuSe and connect to Winblows machines with KRDC which does
RDP and VNC, I have SSH installed and I use Webmin with Shell In A Box
plugin installed. Webmin allows me to do advanced tasks on a Linux
server without remote desktoping in and Shell In A Box with SSH allows
me to shell in without using remote desktop.

box while here.
