With screen you can easily attach and detach from the session and

Screen can give you the same "tabs" though presented as a list (Ctrl+A
+ ") and you can name them too. Switching is easy using (Ctrl+A + n)
so you can go directly from window 2 to window 5 :-)

Another useful function of screen is it can do copy and paste. I know
it isn't exceptionally useful in a GUI environment, but if you only
work in runlevel 3, the copy-and-paste capability can be quite handy.

Thank you all for leading me to screen! It is an amazingly elegant
way to manage multiple terminal sessions in a text console or in konsole
in X. The cut and paste, an ability to turn logging on and off is great.
No need to have kedit open to capture snippets to, just turn logging on
and it is done automatically, switch it on or off with a keystroke. But
for the 'su question' that started this thread, I would have never known
screen existed.
5 years from now, MS will be calling it "obsolete technology".
10 years from now, MS will release their own, pathetically
broken, half-***ed implementation.
