I just installed rdesktop on Ubuntu 14.04 and I type rdesktop on the search to try to run it and nothing show. Is rdesktop a UI app? How can I run it?

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.
