The other *really* big plus is that you can start a process running and then detach the screen session and log off, the process will continue. Log on from another terminal/box/console/what ever and then resume the screen session. This coupled with the fact that you can start sshd on the livecd means that you could be able to do remote installs for friends over ssh (and not have to keep the ssh session open) via a quick phone call to start sshd and change the passwd. -- Troy Dack http://linux.tkdack.com http://webportage.sf.net -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
