[CLUE-Tech] poor man's kvm

[Chris Schock]

I simply fire up screen, open a few sessions underneath it, and open a

connect to it later or from another workstation, I just reattach the
screen and voila, all my connections are there.

The ability to detach/reattach a screen session is the best part.
