Along the way, I have found screen....
screen is a full screen windows manager that, multiplexes several process. Usually active shells. As quoted from the man page.
The thing is, it is useful that, I can run several shells. Without actually have to open several instance of gnome terminal. Which is useful, because I use a lot of vim nowadays. And really have to open several windows just to have several terminal tend to be distracting.
screen is not hard to use,
Ctrl-a + c : to open new windows
Ctrl-a + n : switch to next windows
Ctrl-a + p : switch to prev windows
Ctrl-a + Ctrl-a: toggle between 2 windows
Ctrl-a + ? : is the help(if you don't remember the rest, just remember this one)
BTW I found that this is useful for my eeepc as well. Consider that, I found that console apps tend to save a lot of screen space...And too much windows open, then to be hard to navigate.
