Large numbers of virtual desktops

[Alistair Cunningham]

I'm currently using Debian with fvwm2. I'm about about buy a new laptop, 
and am considering switching to Ubuntu.

I work on large numbers of remote machines, with SSH windows to each. I 
have 16x16 fvwm virtual desktops. Yes, that's 256 in total. At any time, 
I'm using perhaps 100 to 200 of them. In each virtual desktop is a 
maximized xterm. I have a mental map of which one points to which remote 
machine. I can switch rapidly between them using CTRL-arrows. I much 
prefer using the keyboard to the mouse, which I find slow and clumsy.

Does anything like this exist for Ubuntu? If so, you probably have a 
convert!
