	It can be made to work under wine... or you can still use rdp.

The Workspaces FAQ appears to disagree, but I'd be interested in learning if one can indeed use RDP.

"Q: Can I use any other client (e.g., an RDP client) with Amazon WorkSpaces?

No. The only supported clients for WorkSpaces are the free clients provided by AWS."

I did it.. So it does work :)

If you use public IP addresses, just use that.. or leapfrog rdp through an ssh tunnel or VPN on a linux instance on the same VPC.

Something like this, to tunnel through a linux instance:

  #!/bin/sh
  sshuttle -D -r ubuntu@linuxinstance-in-vpc 172.16.X.0/24
  xfreerdp +clipboard /rfx /smart-sizing:800 /d:CORP /u:demo /v:172.16.X.X
