Last time I covered enough about Screen to get you started, but really, you could do almost the same things on a single, unnetworked machine just using the virtual consoles ALT+F1 to F6. The only real benefits in that instance would be the ability to run a program in the background you want to check on once in a while (not just add "&" to the command line), and to give you more virtual consoles, should 6 not be enough. You expected more from this utility than that, right?
