Hello,

The article [[Screen]] on Wikitech is only about how to start a new gnu 
screen under bash, but is there anyway I can change my default login 
shell to use my own compiled gnu screen?, the difference the this two is 
when we're connecting to a bash shell and suddenly the connection drops, 
we won't be able to reattach to bash, and it keeps running, using gnu 
screen as default login shell makes us enable to reattach to where we 
were and it's very easy to use and it's time saving, we can create 
another window when are attached to a window, the future is not possible 
when we're connecting to a normal screen under bash unless we deattach 
from it and create a new one, the reason I want to use my own compiled 
gnu screen is because the default gnu screen on debian doesn't have some 
futures like it doesn't support colors. please let me know if there is a 
possibility to have separate login shells for each instance.

Thank you,
