Remove screen from the Desktop CD?

Hello Robbie,

cc'ing ubuntu-desktop@ for some wider input.

byobu is definitively overkill for a desktop installation, indeed.
I love screen on servers as well, it's a must for ssh connections, but
indeed I see little benefit for it on a normal desktop box. And with
command-not-found, it's easy to discover, too.

So from my POV it'd be okay to drop.

Martin
