The beauty of screen is that it is console based and does not need a |
| 7 |
gui. |

The other *really* big plus is that you can start a process running and |
| 10 |
then detach the screen session and log off, the process will continue. |
| 11 |
Log on from another terminal/box/console/what ever and then resume the |
| 12 |
screen session. |

This coupled with the fact that you can start sshd on the livecd means |
| 15 |
that you could be able to do remote installs for friends over ssh (and |
| 16 |
not have to keep the ssh session open) via a quick phone call to start |
| 17 |
sshd and change the passwd. |
