Byobu and Screen get the best from your terminal

[ Thanks to linuxaria for this link. ]

"Byobu is a Japanese term for decorative, multi-panel screens that serve as folding room dividers. As an open source project, Byobu is an elegant enhancement of the otherwise functional, plain, practical GNU Screen. Byobu includes an enhanced profile and configuration utilities for the GNU screen window manager, such as toggle-able system status notifications.

"Let's look at the information Byobu provides. The bottom row of Byobu contains, from left to right, your Distribution logo and name, uptime, load, cpu frequencies, ram amount and usage, and the date. You could have different info, like total number of processes or network statistics, these info are highly configurable."
