[TriLUG] introduction to screen

[Jason Tower]

for those of you who are unfamiliar with this handy utility:

lots of trilug folks use it to keep a persistent IRC session running on moya 
(the trilug shell server).  personally, i use it on many of my servers to 
run monitoring utilities that i can "check" from time to time without 
having to rerun them at every logon.  it also comes in very handy if you're 
on a flaky net connection, when running long jobs, or to work around ssh 
timeouts.
