Installed BYOBU (easier for me to use than screen) on my security-onion
(http://blog.securityonion.net/2012/02/byobu-and-security-onion.html)
apt-get install byobu

Execute byobu
byobu
F9 and set Byobu to launch automatically

Configuration (Pre-12.04 Ubuntu)
byobu-config
Toggle status notifications
Scroll down space bar to disable the logo
Tab to apply and then exit

Using BYOBU
Control + a = start of menu (F9 for more settings)
Control + a, c = create a new screen
Control + a + a = last screen used
Control + a, 0 = screen 0
Control + a, 3 = screen 3
