it's been a while since i've used screen, but doesn't it allow you to
disconnect without stopping your sessions and then reconnect later? i seem to
remember doing that. great for long running interactive session. if you have
to move to a new location, disconnect, move, reconnect, nothing impacted.
hmmm, i gotta start using screen again, maybe i should make it my default
shell. :)
