byobu is basically an abstraction over screen and tmux, letting you use either with some common keybindings for spawning new windows and a common toolbar at the bottom telling you disk usage and load average and the like. I am not sure why purge-old-kernels is in the byobu package, that seems like a really poor placement for it.

It is a bad place for it. But it's there because I wrote both of them, and Byobu is always everywhere I want it to be, and I generally always want purge-old-kernels there too.

But yes, you're very right. It needs to be moved out.

Forgive the intrusion, just want to say thanks for Byobu. I use it regularly, and it's much nicer than bare tmux or screen.

:-) Thanks!
