Great post!  Rudel looks really cool...  I'd be tempted to try it, if
only more people used Emacs...

Having also experienced remote working whilst contracting as part of a
geographically dispersed team (with me in Scotland) some other
developers in England, and a guy in new york state, I can recommend
the screen approach.

Though we didn't do much remote pair programming, we did do quite a
bit of debugging, integration and knowledge transfer on dev servers
etc...  And we also adopted this same screen approach, though we
didn't use screen... Rather we used the more simplistic dtach, which
worked beautifully, as it essentially only offers the sharing and
detach aspects of screen.

For those interested the advantages of dtach over screen were for me:

- simplicity (easier to convince others to use than screen)
- only a few key features (easier to learn)
- less key bindings than screen (therefore less weird behaviour with
keybinding clashes etc...)
