"screen is a much under utilised program, which provides the following functionality:
* Remote terminal session management (detaching or sharing terminal sessions)
* unlimited windows (unlike the hardcoded number of Linux virtual consoles)
* scrollback buffer (not limited to video memory like Linux virtual consoles)
* copy/paste between windows
* notification of either activity or inactivity in a window
* split terminal (horizontally) into multiple regions (vertical support added Aug 2008)
* locking other users out of terminal
