Twin - Text-mode window environment

Twin is a text-mode window environment. It turns a text terminal into a X11-style display with window manager, terminal windows, and can also serve as display for remote applications. Each terminal window provides the functions of a text-mode Linux console. Twin runs on the Linux console, X11, libggi, and itself. It supports multiple simultaneous displays, and can attach/detach each display on the fly.
