[slime-devel] SLIME via ssh?

Hello,

I have SBCL running on an Opteron Cluster (at the moment only one process). This cluster has no Emacs installed. I can connect to it only with ssh.

1. Is it possible to control the remote SBCL job with SLIME running on my own computer (a Laptop)? Can SLIME work also with remote files via Tramp (e.g. by sending expressions to the remote SBCL)? How is the setup?

2. It would be nice if the SBCL job could be kept running (doing a lengthy calculation) while I disconnect and log out (e.g. when carrying my Laptop to another place). What is the right thing to do here? Maybe screen or detachtty? Both are not installed yet, but this would probably be easy...

Thanks for any hints, Nicolas.
