[bf1942] Using the top command

[Jacob Pappe]

Try looking up a program called "screen".  It lets you, for example,
start the server, push the "screen" to the background, and log out.  All
the while, the server's still running, and you can call it up next time
you log in.
The "named" processes shouldn't have anything to do with BF1942, but if
your linux box is just a personal machine, you probably don't need it
running, as it's a DNS server.  For more info, type "man named".
