Mmm, not entirely sure what you are asking, if your question is "does Linux have a remote desktop solution which is the equivalent of Windows Remote Desktop (RDP)" , then the answer would be a definitive "yes".

It's a product called "NoMachine" (nx) which is free as a 1-2 user license.

[which is effectively what you get with Windows XP]
