overmind said:There's also a neat use for screen, other that helping not lose your running app when your ssh disconnects. Two users can connect to the same screen and then one to configure a server and the other to watch and learn configuration steps.
That way you can help your friends to learn how to configure/use a UNIX/Linux machine.
