I am trying to connect a linux thin client to a win serv 2003 so I can have resizable windows. I can get it to connect but it is the same desktop even though I connect with a different user name and password. Will VNC do multiple connections with multiple users at the same time? Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

VNC will NOT do this for you.
Do note that win 2003 server does allow up to two free remote users (each separate desktkop sessions) for free before you have to start purchasing terminal services licenses.
In theory, all you need here is the remote desktop client. VNC is not such a product at all, and is based on a complete different system. They are not related.
You can find a rdp client here:
http://www.rdesktop.org/
I never tried, or used the above. However, I do know that 2003 sever does allow two free remote users (and, a 3rd user could be working on the console). So, that gives you 3 users at the same time with each their own desktop. If you need more users then that (2 remote), then while the clients are free, licensing systems will kick in. You can't go beyond 2 users without starting to pay...
There is free downloads for the rdp client going all the way back to windows 3.1 on MS site. (so, they still have 16bit versions available for windows 3.1, and also versions for win98.
Windows XP has the client built in, so, you don't have to install anything..
