[ale] LUG at GT Meeting - 03.25.2009: GNU Screen

[Ryan Curtin]

The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"GNU Screen"
  by Matt G. Habib and Ryan Curtin

Mar. 25, 2009, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 1447

Overview:

  GNU Screen is a utility that multiplexes a single terminal between
several concurrent processes (usually shells).  The concept is similar
to virtual desktops in X window managers, but this idea applies to
shells.  Also, a screen session allows a user to begin work (i.e.
kernel compilation or the like) in a session, leave their physical
terminal, login from another physical terminal, and resume their
session.  Screen also has many other advanced features that will be
discussed at the presentation.  In addition to this, personal setups for
screen (including things like integration with music players and the
like) will be mentioned.

Upcoming presentations:

  - 2009.04.01: Toy Languages (roundtable)

Hope to see you there!
