While I know screen(1) has a lot of devotees, you could almost
certainly use nohup for this same purpose, with the pleasant side
effect that you will have a log of what happened on disk in case
something blows up.
I do a lot of stuff this way (cvs up, buildworld, etc.) even if I plan
to stay connected just in case I don't. :)
