Debian does support screen, he just needs to install it using apt-get install screen i belive.
It doesn't come nativly with the OS. But i think its a bit slower under screen.

you have to install it then, after you do that, you type screen and it will open a "virtual console" in the same window, run your game under that console then detach yourself from it. you can then log off of putty and the console still runs in the background, does that make sense? you then log back into putting and re-attach to the session if you need to make any changes/restart/etc.
just remember to detach before you log off, it becomes habit after a while.

i don't know how debian handles packages but i believe its "apt-get install screen" same thing as what cryotek says up top. after that type "screen -S test" and the cursor will go back to the top, that will be your virtual, type exit to get out. or to detach hold ctrl + a, then hit d. to re-attach type "screen -r test" as you can see what is after the -S flag is the name of the screen. so "screen -S css1" or "screen -S css2" re-attach using the name you named it obviously.

oh if you have more than 1 screen up you can type "screen -r" and it will give you a list of all of them. or if you just have 1 "screen -r" will attach you the that one.
