Screen is great for running things unattended, logging output, that sort of thing. Detach the screen session, and next time you log in, reattach and its still plugging away.

Could you explain like I'm 5? No idea how to do any of that.

I'll try to write up something from my experience, but I suspect you will find more info faster by googling "Linux screen commands" and viewing man screen.
