oh MY GGODD!
screen is truly magic. wonder why i never tried it before?
start with
$ screen
see the license, start hammering away at whatever you hammer
away at. create, edit, delete, munge, craft, invent, devise...
get interrupted, forget your session, leave for the day.
at home, log in remotely and
$ screen -r
There is a screen on:
4552.pts-0.boss (Attached)
There is no screen to be resumed.
$ screen -d
[4552.pts-0.boss detached.]
$ screen -r
and there you are, right where you left off! reading email in
mutt, editing via vim, playing adventure, compiling the source
code from hell, filtering spam, whatever...
yow, that's paaarful stuff!
[now, if i can figure out why my delete key is borked, i'll be
blissful...]

What's a "MANPAGE"? It's the documentation you get when you enter
"man <something>" such as "man sources.list" or "man interfaces"
or "man bash".
