I often SSH to my home computer and want to run and monitor certain 
programs (like bittorrent), and find VNC slow, and have had troubles 
with NX. From previous posts I have seen that screen is really what I 
want, so thanks for the link, I now have somewhere to start learning.

Just a side note, it's great to have such lengthy detailed posts in 
reply to questions that are brought up. I'm sure many more people than 
just the original poster benefit from them (I guess this is the point of 
a mailing list!).
