FYI... Even more useful than "screen" is "vnc" (www.tightvnc.com). It has some of the same capabilities as "screen", but it works like X-windows. Using VNC, you can start an Oracle Installer session on your laptop, shut it down, go home, and resume the session when you get where you are going. It is a complete life-saver for people who manage Oracle servers remotely, ever since the char-mode Oracle Installer vanished. For getting through DMZs and firewalls, it works with SSH2 "IP forwarding"...
