[ale] tools: screen

[James Sumners]

The best part about screen? You can detach from the session and pick back up
where you left off without ever having to exit a program. Ohhhh how I love
screen.

You can even use screen to directly connect to a device over a serial port. I
haven't had do that yet though.

I have attached my ~/.screenrc just for the helluva it.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
