Be more productive using GNU Screen

Despite living in the age of multicore processors, GUI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface) everything and mountains of ram, I continually find myself more productive with a terminal open. Especially when that terminal is running GNU Screen (http://www.gnu.org/software/screen).

About GNU Screen (http://www.gnu.org/software/screen) GNU Screen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen) is a free terminal multiplexer developed by the GNU Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Project). It allows a user to access multiple separate terminal sessions inside a single terminal window (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_emulator) or remote terminal session. It is useful for dealing with multiple programs from the command line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_line_interface), and for separating programs from the shell that started the program.
