From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not me personally, but in one of my past project, my boss was running a bunch of "services" by leaving it on GNU screen terminal sessions and detaching from them.
Everytime I went in to debug something, I'd need to go thru a list of sessions, attach to one hoping that it's the right one (sometimes they'd name 'em), then see the console output.
I'll admit to doing this (but with tmux)
I may or may not do this occasionally with byobu and my own services. Byobu is easier to use.
Why is it so hard to just daemonize???
