FYI...

Even more useful than "screen" is "vnc" (www.tightvnc.com).  It has some of
the same capabilities as "screen", but it works like X-windows.  Using VNC,
you can start an Oracle Installer session on your laptop, shut it down, go
home, and resume the session when you get where you are going.  It is a
complete life-saver for people who manage Oracle servers remotely, ever
since the char-mode Oracle Installer vanished.  For getting through DMZs and
firewalls, it works with SSH2 "IP forwarding"...

...amazing stuff!
