My old setup was a Mac, with keyboard and big screens, with an xemacs window open to a linux box. Then, I lost a hard drive on the mac (while time machine was in self borking mode). Migration ensues. (some of which was planned)
So then, I've got 2 ubuntu boxes, and a mac that needs rebuilding. Dev stuff has been moved from hw linux to a redundant array of cheap virtual machines. One of the HW linux consoles is repurposed to run vms, run the vm generator, and also do some ui stuff, since Xemacs and chrome are pretty much the same anywhere. All well and good.
So, linux box #2 doesn't like to have a keyboard plugged into it for any length of time. It starts to ignore it. (Why, I don't know). But it runs VMs like a champ, so there it is.
Linux box #1 does fine for months, until this morning, when Xorg fubars itself, and then proceeds to do it every 15-20 minutes.
So, now, I guess, I'm back to the mac. Since it's hd has been rebuilt in the intervening time. Though I'm still getting used to the terminals in Lion.
But that's not what I came here for, The real point of the story is:
emacs --daemon
and emacsclient -c.
So now, in the dev vm start up emacs in daemon mode. Then, you can connect to that process from any tty or xserver. With all your state. I like state.
