Without a GUI–How to Live Entirely in a Terminal

About three years back, I attempted to live entirely on the command line for 30 days—no graphical interface, no X Server, just a big-old terminal and me, for a month.

What one would call a window manager in a graphical desktop, in terminals is called a terminal multiplexer—same idea, more or less.
