Re:An easy way to use GNU Screen over SSH on Sunday May 17, 2009 @11:46AM (#613521)

ssh yourserver -t "screen -D -RR" doesnt't allow you use screen from multiple xterms

if you use ssh -t yourserver screen -S main -xRR -p windowname -q as was used in the post, you get to use, multiple xterms all connecting to the same session.
