How do I do multiplexing?
I have a remote terminal and I need to start a program that will take a lot of time to complete, so I want to detach from the screen after I start it. How do I do that? I remember there being something I could do in bash that would let me keep issuing commands while the computer worked on something else, but it's been a while since I had to do that...

If you don't need the terminal output or everything is redirected to files, then a simple "nohup prog &" will do as well. Otherwise "screen" has been very helpful to me.
