Not screen. He's never used screen before, therefore he has no reason not to use tmux. $ eix -I tmux [I] app-misc/tmux Available versions: 1.2 1.3 ~1.4 **9999 {debug vim-syntax} Installed versions: 1.3(18:51:19 10/08/10)(vim-syntax) Homepage: http://tmux.sourceforge.net Description: Terminal multiplexer $ tmux is better that screen in a variety of ways. Many of those ways are minor, however all together and in total they're significant enough. You may want to stay with screen if you have a highly-customised .screenrc and use many other machines on which you're unable to install tmux, but screen should not be recommended over tmux without a very good reason. Stroller.
