[kwlug-disc] Screen vs Tmux

[Erik Schnetter]

For me, the main point of tmux or screen is that they keep the remote
session active when the ssh connection drops. The advantage of tmux
here is that I can give names to sessions and reattach by name,
whereas screen numbers them according to their process id.
