Comments on How to use Screen Command on Linux

Screen is a very useful command which gives us the ability to use multiple Shell(SSH) Sessions from a single SSH session. It means you do not need to explicitly open different SSH sessions to perform multiple operations parallelly.

Ubuntu is not a prerequisit for screen, it is GNU software and will run on nearly every distribution.  I have used it on Q4OS, ARCH, Manjaro, RHEL, Debian, SPARKY Linux, VSIDO,  Kubuntu, Mint Linnux, and MintDE right off the top.  There are also a few things that should be mentioned that make managind screen sessions easier, including screenie https://github.com/talineo/screenie/blob/master/screenie.  Not to be confused with the screen capture software package.
