Yes screen is quite essential. But I also too quite a while until I |
| 10 |
started using it. I think it's because you have to learn a bit about it |
| 11 |
first. I was confused by the -dDrR options, and by the many key bindings. |

Didn't know then that you only need a few to work with it, and I still do |
| 13 |
not use most of them. Now I use screen a lot, sometimes I use screen |
| 14 |
inside a screen session. |

Now that's a nice summary! If I weren't already using it, I'd give it a |
| 19 |
try now. |

I want to add one thing: I suggest changing the defscrollback value in |
| 22 |
/etc/screenrc from 100 to something much larger, I have 100000. If not, |
| 23 |
you can only scroll back 100 lines, which is not that much. |
