Well, I do use Byobu, but I would vote against its default on server... You see, I use both Windows and Ubuntu to manage my Ubuntu servers (and I guess I am not the only one), and on Windows, I have to use a few different terminal emulators to SSH my way into the servers, such as Putty and SecureCRT... but Byobu simply wont work on them (most likely due to a escape code missing or to many, it will fill up the screen on byobu updates rolling up, instead of keeping to the bottom) Therefore, I use byobu only whe I am already at a Ubuntu machine (or other linux, for that matter)
