[GTALUG] Screen vs Tmux

[Giles Orr]

tmux - more modern, less crufty.

If that's too short an answer, look at configuration examples for screen
vs. tmux: screen's configuration is so arcane it's impossible to read.  The
absolute worst is attempting to configure the status bar (assuming you use
that).  tmux's config isn't great, but a normal human being has some hope
of actually reading it.

You should also look at Byobu ( http://byobu.co/ ) - I prefer my terminal
multiplexer raw, but you may not.
