Byobu is a Japanese term for decorative, multi-panel screens that serve as folding room dividers. As an open source project, Byobu is an elegant enhancement of the otherwise functional, plain, practical GNU Screen. Byobu includes an enhanced profile and configuration utilities for the GNU screen window manager, such as toggle-able system status notifications. To convert an already running screen session to byobu, just install this package, then run: CTRL-a :source /usr/share/byobu/profiles/byoburc that's all!
