Ok here's my question: Is it possible to for me directly RDP into my company's RDP server from my Linux OS, in same way I can RDP into it from my Windows OS on my work computer or home computer, which has the RDP setup settings you use to create the session?

Of course I can get into the work machine, and then the RDP session, but is there a way to go straight into it without using the Windows Desktop to click on RDP? Does Linux have an RDP program similar to the setup using on the Windows side, in terms of being able to configure the settings to get into an RDP directly? I hope I'm making some sense here. Thanks.

You should be able to connect to the server using a linux client, such as vino for Gnome or kfrb for KDE for instance, provided the firewall & server are configured to allow remote access. I create scripts using rdesktop and connect using the scripts, rather than using a gui rdp client.

AFAIK vino & kfrb can't connect to Microsofts RDP - they so the same thing but with different protocol.
You could use "rdesktop" from a terminal or if you want gui-clients grdesktop or krdc.
