From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

yeah I actually started using gnu screen and doing ctrl-fun-alt f2 but I found it a bit cumbersome and I was not using it enough. I feel a bit silly but someone mentioned virtual desktops and that is the direction im going for now. easy to move over to and keeps persistent with reboots. I have one on one side for large output and two on the right for when its not as important. that is more than enough for my current use but hopefully if I get more back into the habit I will subdivide more.
