I agree screen is very useful.  I start long jobs that way, so I can
reattach later (from a different machine, or after booting into a
different OS).  One annoyance: when I use it with Emacs, I keep
forgetting that screen takes over ^A.

It would also be nice to hear about VNC, which I think lets you do
similar things with an X session.  It struck me as useful, but more
trouble to set up than screen, so I've stuck with the latter.
