<html><body><h1>Window Manager for tty?</h1>
<p>The package <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/screen">screen</a> is<br>
something that has been around for a long time.</p>
<p>With screen, you can have many session running on on tty, and you can<br>
switch to another session with out touching a mouse. With the proper<br>
configuration, you can get notified if there is some change (like if<br>
you have a IM client up) or if there is no output (say, if you are<br>
watching a compile session).</p>
<p>You are in the zone working, and then you notice the time, and you<br>
have to log out and go home. Is this a problem? No, with a simple<br>
d, you can disconnect the screen session, log out, go home,<br>
log back into that machine, and resume your session just where you<br>
left off.</p>
<p>One of the other really feature is cut and paste between sessions.<br>
The is very handy when adapting code (or articles) into a new file.</p>
