i never thought of that. good idea!

my first impression was to wipe windo~1 on the e-machines box
and see how it goes (i'm a software guy, see -- i never consider
the hardware aspect of a situation, because i hardly ever
understand it). but to identicalize the hardware first...

cool... and wet... :)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #126 from Sean Quinlan <smq@gmx.co.uk>
:
How to SUSPEND A SCREEN SESSION -- two keys: control-a control-d
(hold down control, and press "a" then "d") to detach the
session (and return you to your shell).  You can then reattach
with "screen -r".  You can also use "screen -ls" to list all
screen sessions and their pids, in order to connect to a
specific screen session.  And you can use "screen -x" to connect
to an already connected screen session (I generally use -x
instead of -r, since it does more :).
  Of course, "man screen" will give you more options.
