That's what everyone who hasn't used screen says, I said the same.
There are those that use screen and those that haven't tried it, I've yet
to meet anyone who has tried it and doesn't use it.
+1 on that. Using screen is really handy when in single user mode. It
also comes in handy when doing updates in a Konsole and you need to log
out of KDE. Just exit the screen session, log out, log back in and
reattach the screen session. Nothing lost, it never even stops the
compile. This is really handy if OOo is in progress.
You really need to check out screen Peter. I'd be glad to help with the
basics of it. I mostly now how to start a new session, detach, reattach
and such. Nothing fancy but enough to use it.
