Screen: Runs console sessions remotely on your behalf, keeps them open after you disconnect, with easy reconnection and resuming all running applications the way you left them. Natural combination with SSH. The GNU Project's screen utility is one of my mainstays, letting me keep my most-used applications open and able to be resumed exactly as I left them, all the time. I normally leave several copies of my preferred e-mail program, mutt, running, plus the lynx Web browser and slrn for reading Usenet newsgroups. Screen as a "session multiplexer" will keep my place in each such session. I reach my machine from wherever I am using SSH remote login, and then do "screen -r" to reattach all the running screen sessions to my current terminal. Screen has a built-in cut-and-paste mechanism reminiscent of the old Quarterdeck DesqView one. It also has automated session logging, supports screenshots, configurable window titles, and has a screen-lock feature. Type "ctrl-a ?" to see a command quick-reference. Screen's default configuration file is (naturally) /etc/screenrc, which individual users can override using ~/.screenrc . For the truly devoted, there's an entire screen-type window manager, called "ratpoison", http://ratpoison.sourceforge.net/ , with the slogan "Say goodbye to the rodent".
