Just a suggestion but I followed some past posts about screen and byobu and it made me think about suggesting tmux. I use tmux on Ubuntu and have been very happy with it. I think it's power and simplicity compared to screen fits well with the vision of TurnKeyLinux.

tmux major features:

A powerful, consistent, well-documented and easily scriptable command interface.
A window may be split horizontally and vertically into panes.
- screen only allows horizontal splits by default
tmux uses a client-server model which provides better performance than screen

This article summarizes the benefits of tmux well: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/is-tmux-the-gnu-screen-killer/1901

tmux's first FAQ answers the question "How is tmux different from GNU screen?" http://tmux.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tmux/tmux/FAQ

Thanks for all your work on TurnKeyLinux and for your consideration of tmux.
