Thanks, I will look at that, looks rad! I just thought the article covered some really key points about multiplexing terminals in general...

tmux is not rad, just clean -- see http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/neercs for a truly radical screen replacement:

  Grab a process that you forgot to start inside neercs
  Great screensaver
  Real time thumbnails of your shells
  Special effects when closing a window
  Various window layouts...

I rather like the fact it uses the WTFPL, too. It's not really a replacement for something like tmux, though, from what I've seen.

How does any of this work when through putty or when connecting to X-less unices from the myriad of non-Unix boxes out there?

What does 'looks rad' mean ?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rad

Basically short for 'radical' and a replacement for 'awesome' or 'cool.'

Ah :)

Sorry, I felt a little old there for a second.

"Rad" hasn't really been in widespread use since the '80s.
