Unix screen command
Also see Tmux - I know tmux is better, but I can't get out of my "screen" habit
Turn off startup message
One of the first things about screen that will get really old is the startup message about sending pizza and beer to some guys who are probably now silver-haired and pushing 60:
add to ~/.screenrc
startup_message off
Remapping Control-A

To change to Control + B:
add to ~/.screenrc
escape b
