I'm not good at Linux, could you explain it? 'screen' allows you to open kind of like a virtual console. If you say 'screen program', then 'program' is started in such a way that you can disconnect from it and the program doesn't notice it. Then you can open another program in another virtual console. You can even disconnect from the host the programs are running on and they'll keep running. Later, you can reconnect to the virtual console and the display will look the same as when you last disconnected from it. You can also switch between active 'screen' sessions, a bit like Alt+Tab under Windows. So far, I've only used it with one virtual session at a time, to keep it open when I have to disconnect from the host, but you can start as many programs as you want that way.
