Linux: Use screen to keep stuff running in background

Its useful to run stuff such as servers in the background without having to open a new console window.

To do that, in your console type:

screen

Now just do whatever you need to do.

When you want to go back to doing other things, press CTRL+A and then "D" to switch back to your console.

To reconnect to the screen and stop the server, type:

screen -r
