Screen for Linux

[Chilulu]

Anyone know where I can get Screen for Linux? It didn't come with my distro, and I can't seem to Google it up. I'd like to run Source DS in the background and even while logged out of the shell. The tutorial on this site mentioned Screen was required.

most linux distros have it. if you have an rpm based disto, the package name should begin with screen-whatever.rpm. otherwise download the sources and make and install.

I have Red Hat, and the installation did not incldue Screen, its RPM, or anything related to Screen. As I mentioned above, I could not find the Screen source/RPM via Google--do you know where? Can you give me an actual link?

Check out the link below, they have screen listed for a number of redhat and fedora distros.

For future referance...

It's should be called GNU Screen when you Google it.

This is why i <3 Gentoo, if i need something, i don't need to google, i just for example

Code:

emerge screen

and it'll find screen, download, and compile it i can also use esearch to search the ebuilds for certain apps as well

Gentoo for life

I'd better just get my two cents in for debian...

Code:

apt-get install screen

Aye, but with Gentoo its about optimizing binaries
