You can install install xFREERDP 11 using a Terminal.

Install the freerdp-x11 package using the command below.

sudo apt-get install freerdp-x11

Command syntax for freerdp-x11 is:

xfreerdp [options] server[:port] [[options] server[:port] ...]

also once this command is run should this literally allow me to access the rdp client and use it to connect to servers etc or are further commands needed once the install command has been run.

you can use the "remmina" package as a GUI front end for it, too
