tmux, as discussed here at length in the past. |

Because tmux is a single server daemon and you can run tmux commands from both inside and outside of it, without needing to go into "command mode", you can do useful things like: |

|
11 |
for host in server1 server2 server3 |
12 |
do |
13 |
tmux new-window -d "ssh $host" |
14 |
done |
15 |
|
16 |
Then using `tmux synchronize-panes on` you can `emerge -pv world` (or whatever) to all hosts. |

This is just one example. Maybe you need italics support, or something else instead. tmux is better than screen lots of minor ways, that are cumulatively significant IMO. |

tmux "doesn't need" byobu because it's better than screen in the first place, although it does need some customisation, IMO (see attached). If you have a window manager that provides a clock, then having it also in your screen / tmux status line is just a distraction and a waste of space; likewise CPU meters are always so, IMO. |
