tmux is basically converts your terminal screen to unix socket so you can access and attach to your current one.

if you ssh into server and want to log out when downloading / installing something you can open it in tmux session then detach (pref + d) session. your programs will continue while you are not connected

you can re-attach to that session by 'tmux att'

you can create windows and panels (split screens) different shells you can use your mouse to move them

my tmux config:

Code:
# ___

# ~/.tmux.conf

# TMUX configuration file

set -g default-terminal "$TERM"

set -g prefix C-a

set -g status-position top

set -g monitor-activity on

set -g visual-activity on

set -g status-fg black

set -g status-bg cyan

set -g message-fg white

set -g message-bg red

set -g mode-mouse on

set -g mouse-resize-pane on

set -g mouse-select-pane on

set -g mouse-select-window on

bind-key C-a last-window

bind-key a send-prefix

set -g base-index 1

set -s escape-time 0

setw -g aggressive-resize on

tmux is a unix socket but there is alternatives... such as dvtm or something like that.
you can say tmux is a new gnu-screen... altrough i dont know differences... i generally use screen to 'screen' into a external tty (ttyUSB0 ttyACM0 etc)
