Sounds great in this case!
<>very, very sexy, this "screen" thing. very!
I keep looking at "screen." I just tried it again. My temporary conclusion is that it would be obviously very valuable when not running X. When running X I more often than not want to see two or more consoles (xterms, etc.) at the *same* time.
Clearly I could make all of my xterms into "screen"'s and get the best of both worlds but it's not clear at this point why I would want to bother. Could some of you "screen" users suggest some circumstances under which I would benefit from this? How does "screen" beat multiple xterms?
