Some have mentioned using VNC. If all you want to do is share a shell, then
this is probably not the best solution. It is designed for use with GUIs,
so while you could share the terminal window (the actual graphical window
of your "Terminal" or "Konsole" or whatever), it would be inefficient and
possibly quite slow.
Others have mentioned GNU Screen. This is generally better than VNC for
your purposes, but has a few (potential) flaws. First of all, it has not
had a release in 4 years, and does not appear to be actively developed.
It has several bugs and missing features, especially when it comes to
sharing
a session.
That said, I started with screen and then switched to tmux, which is an
actively developed rewrite of screen (and is BSD licensed). It has many
technical and objective improvements over screen, and, additionally, it
has proven a much better alternative in my personal experience. It does
very well with sharing a terminal from multiple clients of different sizes,
dynamically resizing as conditions change. (I use the version from testing,
but tmux is also available in the squeeze repo.)
There is plenty of information on the web concerning tmux and it's use.
