#13 GNU Screen

This week we take a peek at GNU Screen - a terminal multiplexer. GNU Screen allows you to open multiple terminal sessions and easily switch between them from one terminal window. You can also disconnect from GNU Screen and your terminal sessions will stay in the background waiting for you to reconnected.

Great work. Always wondered how this worked. Could be very useful for running long tasks on a server, even after logging out!
