You are right. I was not sure myself, so I did test this, but only with a 'sleep 60' command. It was still running when I closed the shell, so I thought this would work. But now I learnt this is not true for emerge. Does anyone know why? I agree with Stroller, tmux seems like the way to go. I do not use it (yet), because I already know screen, but it is on my to do list, after some postings here. Wonko
